This freeware application gives users the ability to unlock files that have been locked by another process, but it lacks a quick-search function for identifying all locked files. FreeFile has a basic windows-based interface that lets users browse for locked files or folders. When the user clicks Go, FreeFile identifies the sharing-violation process and lists the process properties, including owner name, SID, full path, priority and the amount of virtual memory used. The user then has the option to kill the process. During our tests the program quickly killed the process we selected. This free program would be useful for identifying and end-locking processes when you're deleting, removing, or renaming files or folders.
