Unlock Files

Sometimes when you want to delete or move a file in Windows Explorer, a message is displayed that the file is locked by Windows or an application.

This locking is in most cases very essential, but it can be annoying. Most of the time I try to find out which application is causing the file to be locked or I simply restart my computer and in most cases the file-lock is gone.

Recently, I found a tool called 'Unlocker' - written by Cedrick Collomb - that can be used in order to unlock a locked file. Unlocker can be downloaded from the following site:
