I run Desqview 2.2 on an AT clone.  Something has been pestering me for a 
while now about DV: How does it handle files that are opened by different
applications at the same time?

On a network server drive, you'd run share in order to make sure nothing got
corrupt.  Should I run something like that on my machine?  (Share itself does
not seem to have any affect.)  It seems like a logical thing to do, but I
can not find any mention of it in my DV manual.

I mention this because I've been getting a lot of disk(hard drive) problems
when running DV.  I'm wondering if they are caused by programs using the same
file at the same time, or is my HD just getting flaky as it gets older?  (It's
probably the latter.)
