When you work with a number of files, opening and closing applications, you’ll often find that some files become ‘locked’ and can’t be moved to another location or deleted from your drive. Often these files cannot be unlocked until you restart or shutdown your computer. Once you do this, the tool that was using the file will reset. However, this takes time and is a major inconvenience as you need to reset your machine simply to move files around your computer.
Unlocker is a simple tool that will free up the system resource(s) that are locking access to a particular file. It’s easy to use too. It simply resides in your right-mouse button system menu so, simply right-click on the file you want to unlock and select ‘unlocker’.

Unlocker 1.8.8
When installing Unlocker be sure to untick certain options to install anything relating to ebay.....as these are spyware!!! Providing you do NOT install these "extras"..Unlocker will work fine.

unlocker with spyware doctor
This is a great piece of software and has been working well until I put Spyware doctor 5.5 on my machine. Unlocker no longer works - any ideas? vnunet.com comment: have you tried the newer Spyware Doctor 6? If so, and there is still a problem, let us know and we'll report back to PC Tools on your behalf.
