Unlocker is a free application with which you can unlock files occupied by certain processes or protected by system settings. The program combines with the context menu, displaying an additional item "Unlocker", which allows you to quickly unlock a file. The application supports a large number of languages, especially English.
Using Unlocker
The program is used in the following situations:
- it is impossible to delete a folder because it is used by an application that is running;
- you cannot delete a file because you cannot access it;
- notifications appear on the screen advising you to check if the disk memory is full or if the selected file is currently inactive;
- "sharing violation" or "file is being used by another application or user" messages appear on the monitor;
- Other messages of similar kind.
How Unlocker works
The program finds the process that is blocking the file and fixes the problem. After that you can do anything with files: delete, move or rename them. There is also an option to simply terminate the process.
Unlocker is able to work with individual files as well as with folders. Unlocker installs to your PC in the normal mode. Due to the fact that the program is combined with the Windows context menu, to unlock it, you need to right-click on the locked file or folder and click Unlocker in the menu that opens.
Unlocker is equipped with a special "Unlocker Assistant" which opens the main window of the program by double-clicking its icon.
