Curious Findings: Unlocker

Program Description
How many times have you tried to delete a file only to be told it’s in use?

Error Example

I believe I’ve lost count of how many times _a day_ I encounter these . Well, enter Unlocker.

Unlocker is a really nifty application that tries to give you a way around a file being “in use” or “locked”. Whenever that nasty error comes up, comes into play and offers you a few ways to get around it: Kill the locking process or Unlock the file. It really is that easy and it really does work most of the time.

Alternatively, you can choose to delete, rename, move or copy the locked file too.
