My colleagues and I work on the same files on a shared drive. Sometimes one
of us will accidentally stay in it, but Excel's notify feature just says
"File X is locked for editing by 'Company Name.'"

Is there a way we can each go into Excel and add our proper names so we can
figure out who the culprit is each time?

Thanks!
