Unlocker is an explorer extension that allows you with a simple right-click of the mouse on a file or folder to get rid of error messages such as error deleting file or folder and cannot delete folder: it is in use by another program or user.

Helps with error messages like:
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

Changes in 1.9.2:
Improved Installer: Universal installer for both 32 and 64 bit machines
Fixed Bug: Fixed small memory and behavior bugs
Promotional feature: Fully optional Delta toolbar.

It used to be great, but they never quite got 64-bit+UAC working all the time. It will just not bring up the dialog, or not show up in the right-click menu, for no apparent reason, and once it stopped, it seemed to not work again at all until after a reboot. That was with 1.9.1, but nothing in the changelog indicates it's been dealt with.

I switched to LockHunter, awhile back, instead. Not quite as many features, but I've found it to work 100% of the time.

Thanks, updated it. Be careful to not do a quick install and to uncheck the Delta Toolbar options.
