Unlocker – It Just Might Save the Day
Sledgehammer. Drill. Shovel. Will I need anything else to obliterate my computer?
I feel this way when things don’t work right. One error in particular that makes me want to scream is the following:

The error can take a number of forms . . . it might tell you that you can’t rename a folder, that a file can’t be deleted, that another program is using the file . . . I’m sure it’s happened to you before so there’s really no reason for me to keep explaining myself. Typically I end up rebooting my computer to make the problem disappear. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. But you don’t have to do that anymore. All you need is Unlocker, a free program that works on all Windows platforms.
Right-click the file or folder, then click “Unlocker” then click “unlock” and you’re done. Problem solved. Day saved.
