[09:45] Unlocker is the shiznit!
I've been playing with a piece of software called Unlocker recently and I've decided that not only is it the bee's knees but I'm prepared to swear that it's also the bee's thighs, hips and abdomen (or thorax possibly, whatever bees have)!
Unlocker basically locates whatever processes are locking a file (thus preventing you from deleting it/moving it/etc) and, if possible, removes the lock. This is GREAT for getting Windows to release a USB thumbdrive for instance and much nicer than the old way I've been using of looking for processes using ProcessExplorer and then manually removing the lock.
If for some reason it can't remove the lock then it gives you the option of marking the file for deletion on the next reboot (before anything can get it's grubby hooks into it)
The only way this program could be better would be if it was free. Oh wait, it is! What are you waiting for? Go get it NOW! Huzzah for Cedrick Collomb!
