Betreff: RE: usropn files and service programs

If you allow the file to be automatically opened, you are correct the
system will only open it the one time and will not close it.  Note that
if you close it manually but the activation group is not terminated,
you'll get an error as the system will not re-open the file.

However, the OP was talking about manually opening/closing the files.
