Force a file to be closed. Is it possible?

Is it possible to force a file (opened on a local drive of a machine)
to be closed in order that it may be written to with updates?

You could close the applications keeping the files open
('System.Diagnostics.Process' class provides 'CloseMainWindow' and 'Kill'
methods).
