Open the file in write mode. That should lock it properly.
Also check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/createfile.asp and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/lockfile.asp and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/lockfileex.asp etc.. Its just basic win api stuff...
