A handy portable file unlocker

This is a portable application that can be run from a mobile storage device, such as a USB stick and does not require installation.

It is installed by simply downloading and extracting the provided ZIP archive to a convenient location. Once this task has been completed, users can run the program by double-clicking its icon. No setup is required.

An easy to use software solution

One can easily unlock a file or folder by dragging and dropping it into the main window of the application. The program then proceeds to scan the system for any processes that are keeping said file or folder open and therefore locked.
Once the application has identified these processes, users have the option of terminating or unlocking them. DLLs that have been loaded can be forced to unload.
The application also provides users with the option of removing these files during a reboot of the system.
Most of these operations can be carried out either from the application's context or Tools menus.
Users can also search the Internet for, or copy the name of such a process to the clipboard. This can come in handy if one suspects it of being malicious, or just wants to avoid killing a useful system task.

Conclusion

This application provides users with a convenient tool for removing locked files, that comes in handy when dealing with buggy or malicious software.
