    Sorry, I made a mistake.

    Open Files Count is the name of the control strip module. List Open Files
    is a stand alone app that shows what files are currently running on the
    system, including fonts.

    Both are from Alsoft and are free. Their site is:

    http://www.Alsoft.com

    I don't remember for sure, but I may have found those at VersionTracker.com.

    HTH;)
