UnLock IT is a free utility used to unlock files and folders locked by applications or system processes. It can help you every time when you get an Access Denied error while trying to change, rename or delete files or folders, because they are locked. UnLock IT allows you to detect processes that lock a resource and unlock it by closing file and library handles to the resource. If the resource cannot be unlocked by these methods, you will be prompted to kill the processes that hold locks. The application can terminate not only regular applications and system processes but also viruses, trojans and other spyware processes that have a special protection from termination. UnLock IT integrates into Windows Explorer, so you can launch it by selecting a corresponding item from the context menu for any resource. It gives you a one-click access to checking any resource for locks and unlocking it if required.
