Process Explorer

[Edit]
The process explorer is a great tool from Microsoft (they bought SysInternals).

Nice things


Find a process that look a specific file


Click: Find->Find Handle or dll..
       In the textbox "Handle or DLL substring" type in what causes the look
       Example: ErrorLog.txt
And all the processes that hold a lock on that file are showed.

List number of objects in the finalize queue


Press the .NET tab.
Select ".NET CLR Memory" from the drop down
In the field "Finalization survivors" it stands how many objects that survive the last garbage collection.
Tips: for a more advanced view of the finalize queue use WinDbg
