Um, no, not exactly. You can open the file _READ|_WRITE as long as no
one else actually has it open for delete (by setting the delete-on-close

And here I thought I understood share modes ... sorry.
I just ran through it in procmon again, and with the input redirection,
cmd successfully opens it _READ|_WRITE.
