How to open a file in Windows without blocking its renaming

Question

Is there a way to open a file without blocking its renaming by another application?

Saving an open file does not block its renaming to Unix. Can I achieve the same behavior on Windows?

You need to open the file in sharing mode FILE_SHARE_DELETE(0x00000004).

See the MSDN Help for the CreateFile API .
