Permissions on "Open Files"

That may not be possible. What you might try is to give the user the right
to debug programs. I don't know if that will help but easy enough to try.
You can do that in the appropriate security policy - local/domain/OU under
security settings/local policies/user rights. Make sure that the "effective"
setting in Local Security Policy includes the user you want. Normally only
administrators have that user right.--- Steve

What I have done is this:

On the server in question, run a scheduled task to run this command every minute or so: "NET FILE > [network share\folder]\OpenFiles.txt"

Then, give the user a shortcut to this txt file. He can view the file for current status.
