Download the Unlocker Installer and save it to the Desktop.

Double click the installer to begin the installation process.

Choose the language and click OK

From the following screens keep choosing Next until you reach the following screen to Choose Components

Make sure there is a check mark next to each of the Unlocker components as shown below.

Note: The new version of Unlocker 1.8.6 has an eBay check box that must be unchecked unless you want the eBay shortcut added to your Desktop.

Now choose Install then Finish to complete the installation.

Now that the program has been installed, Unlocker will have added a autorun entry to your registry to start the Unlocker Assistant when Windows starts. This background program stays resident and detects when you try to delete, copy, rename, or move a file that is in use.

When it detects one of these operations, it will automatically open up a Window in order to assist you in working with the file.

Example



With Unlocker installed, when you press the OK button to exit the error, the Unlocker Assistant will automatically launch to help you delete the file.

From the Dropdown Menu select Delete and then click OK



What this does is delete the open file handles and then attempts to delete the file.

If Unlocker still has problems deleting the file after closing its file handles, it will ask you if you want to delete the file on reboot as shown below.

Choose Yes and restart the computer to complete the process.

Unlocker is useful with the following errors:

• 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.
