program site:

Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows?

It has many other flavors:

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!

Ok did you even bother looking at this:

There is no excuse for laziness my friend. This is Inno Setup.

To test go to commandline and run it with the /VERYSILENT switch, might need to add in SP- depending on if it forces a reboot.

Hi. I tried downloading the program and I found out that it uses NSIS. Try /S switch (BIG S)

[totoymola]

Ctwizzy, it's not Inno Setup. That's what I thought at first. We were fooled by the icon! Hahahaha!!

[Ctwizzy]

Really? Wow my bad, wonder why theyd make it look like Inno for. I thought it was weird how there was no about in the file menu.

[totoymola]

They are both imitating msiexec's icon. Hahaha!!

[MHz]

I would not trust, judging by the icon. Inno normally uses the old 9x installer icon, that alot of installers used it, and some still do. The new style icon, is used for msi's and alot of other exe installers.

Pity for the program. It claims no locked handles, yet removing the files or folders, is still denied. ****, will need to find another solution.

MHz, it works absolutely fine here.

However, if you solely want to delete locked files/folders (automatically), you check out my program, ForceDelete.

You can leave ForceDelete running in the background. Whenever you try to delete locked files, ForceDelete will automatically intercept your attempt, unlocks the handles, and deletes the file/folder for ya

[deXter] good program, but Unlocker can show which process blocking you files. Like this:

i think it's wery important.

oh yea

totoymola big SNX.

I try only little "s"

to Ctwizzy,

Many thanks. ForceDelete seems to work for me (tested from commandline). I get folders that just will not delete. Often, I can create a new empty folder, come back to it later, and it does not delete, weird behaviour . Unlocker gives no handles to the folder.

Hi MHz, I found a major bug when scanning handles while trying to delete files on my machine yesterday. Unlocker could not find any handles at all, this has been fixed by the latest version 1.5.2 that you can download on my website: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

Please let me know if it works for you.

If it does not work please email to me at ccollomb@yahoo.com and I will send you a special debug version to help solving the problem.

Could you possibly including language files so it can be translated? Id like your app in Norwegian...

[diesel_98a]

Hey Grenky, nice program, finally an easy solution other than rebooting........

[durex]

Anyone know how to change the installation path for this?

[Shark007]

This can be installed to any directory you like.

Following is a description to install to the system32 folder.

change the paths as you wish.

installation by *.cmd file ...

copy /y "UnlockerDriver4.sys" "%windir%\system32\UnlockerDriver4.sys"
copy /y "Unlocker.exe" "%windir%\system32\Unlocker.exe"
copy /y "Unlocker.reg" "%windir%\system32\Unlocker.reg"
regedit /s %windir%\system32\Unlocker.reg
regsvr32 /s %windir%\system32\UnlockerDriver4.sys
exit

and for the Unlocker.reg file ...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\edit.Unlocker]
@="Unlocker"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\edit.Unlocker\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\Unlocker.exe \"%L\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\edit.Unlocker]
@="Unlocker"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\edit.Unlocker\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\Unlocker.exe \"%L\""

No reboot required, you're good to go.

By the way

... the current version available at the time of this post is v1.6.3
