LockHunter (32 & 64 bit)

Unlocker is a great tool but it does not support 64 bit. Enter LockHunter. http://lockhunter.com/download.htm

Or......

Supports both 32 and 64bit Windows

Ah... I see. I thought you contradicted yourself in that post, saying first that it didn't work and then saying it did!

I mention two different programs.

I know that now! But I was sick when I posted that message.

I just discovered this is useful to delete a large file/folder. Windows can take a while sometimes. LockHunter did it instantly. It doesn't have to be locked. You can use it to delete any file.

Interesting... lately I've used either Process Explorer's "File" view or the sysinternals "handle" program to locate the process that has a open file- although I don't need to feature often.

usually when I find a file is locked it's because I was working on my file library and had to change something and it required me to stop running it (so none of the cleanup ran).

I didn't even know Unlocker didn't work on 64-bit, actually... Downloading LockHunter now

- Fixed bug: Handles should not be missing anymore on Windows7.
- Fixed bug: Potential conflict with regular explorer use when opening multiple files or other shell extensions such as 7-zip.
- Fixed bug: UI should now appear properly when done from clean install.
- Fixed bug: No hangs due to looping junctions should happen anymore.
- Fixed bug: Deleting junctions will not erase original files anymore.
- Fixed bug: Managing your computer on Windows 7 will not crash anymore.
- Fixed bug: Bitmap handles should not leak anymore from the shell extension.
- Fixed bug: Many other potential sources of bugs and crashes.
- Improved behavior: When deleting files they will be sent first to the recycle bin if possible, only if not possible more abrasive deletion will be used.
- Improved behavior: Unlocker can be started directly from the start menu to browse to the desired file or folder.
- Promotional feature: Added fully optional shortcuts to eBay during the installation. Simply untick "eBay shortcuts" in the choose components page during install if you do not wish to have those.
