directory locking

[Lloyd Dupont]

In our app we have a resource manager which used a temporariy directory in
the temp folder to store data while the application is runnning.

To preserve the integrity of our data we need to prevent the deletion of
this folder while the application is running.

How could I lock the directory?

I'm thinking of win32 call like LockFile/LockFileEx, but I'm not sure what
argument pass to these methods.

Any tips?

Keep the file(s) in this directory open. Windows won't allow them
to be deleted when they're open.
