Unlocker is a freeware where we get to overcome a Window bug where we are unable to have real control on our own machine and sometimes do not allow us to delete some files that we wish to. This software is done by Cedrick Collomb, and his Unlocker official website. By the way, he claimed that it has been downloaded over 2 million times!

Well, I found another good idea about setting up a freeware website that is powered by adsense and donations, while we don’t have to maintain our regular posts! Think about it…

While I am still recovering my past programs after a Windows reinstall, I found this software particularly useful and that I would want to recommend it to everybody out there since it is free. Sometimes, it is so irritating to be unable to edit or delete some files required and we couldn’t find that particular process that’s controlling it!

Have a quick video review of my presentation of this great software!

In this software review, we will start to see that we can have total control of how to manipulate the files that we wish to. Windows always “push” the problem to us when it comes to sharing violation… It looks as though Windows is doing a good job of its security… But it is actually making things difficult for us to stop our work, and start finding that “bugger” who is using the file! Unlocker is a smart software that detects immediately which process is using that file, and it gives us full control of how we want to deal with the process or its file.

1. We can delete, rename, move or copy this file. (Normal procedure we get to do with Windows Explorer.)
2. We can unlock that process which manipulates this file. (It means to separate the process from controlling that file.)
3. We can kill that process which manipulates this file… (It means to end/close the program or process.)

One important note I would want to mention is that when we are unlocking the process, that process is still thinking that it is manipulating the file, while we might have just deleted it away! And when the program has ended, the file is not saved and it’s gone… It is possibly stored in some temporary folder…
