Remarks

If the application specified in IgnoreList list opens a file handle, the file will NOT be auto-locked.

Typically, you would want to ignore system applications that open documents for reading, such as Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) and Windows Indexing Service (SearchProtocolHost.exe).

You would also want to ignore applications that do not keep the open file handle when the document is being edited, such as Notepad (notepad.exe), Notepad++ (notepad++.exe), WordPad (wordpad.exe). There is no way to auto-lock the document when such application opens a file, because there is no indication that the file is opened.
