Publisher's description
From Cedrick Collomb :Unlocker is an Explorer extension that allows you with a simple right-click of the mouse on a file or folder to get rid of error message such as error deleting file or folder, cannot delete folder: it is used by another person or program. Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows? Cannot delete file: Access is denied There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use. The file is in use by another program or user. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. Unlocker is the solution.

Version: Unlocker 1.3
Pros: One of the greatest things about Unlocker is that you can right-click your hard-drive, select "Unlocker" and view exactly what is running on that drive. From there, anything can usually be modified at discretion.
Cons: 1) I would have given a 5-star rating if this program could produce a logfile of its results.
2) It appears that sufficient privileges are required as per the file's security, but of course, this is a Windows restriction rather than a flaw in the product.

Version: Unlocker 1.3
"Great product, highly recomended =D !!!"
Pros: I was having problems with some TIFF images I was retouching in Photoshop; each time I tried to save, there was that annoying message that the "file was in use". I installed this program and now I can modify my files without a problem! =P - In the lastest version you can choose directly form the program the action to do (unlock, delete, rename, move). Nice interface =D - Sorry for my bad English ^^
Cons: - (Not realy a cons) In Download.com you can only download the 1.3 version: click in the screenshot and download the lastest version 1.6.6, that's even better! =D
- Sometimes you have to unlock twice to modify the file =(

Version: Unlocker 1.3
Pros: I had this retarded file that Explorer was "blocking" and I couldn't even delete it in diagnostic startup, unlocker fixed the problem after a few clicks... I plan to keep it!
Cons: I had to use it two times in a row to unlock the file, but that's a small price to pay (so many wasted calories...).
