Ever been unable to delete or rename a file because another program is apparently using it but haven’t been able to work out which program it might be or how to get it to let go of the file?
WhoLockMe is a handy little freeware application that will do both. After istallation just right-click on the file in question in Windows Explorer and select “WhoLockMe” to find the culprit application and end its process.
Unlocker is another excellent freeware utility that does this, and integrates with the Windows shell well. Gipo Moveonboot is a further way of shifting really stubborn files or directories, and happens before the OS loads so nothing can prevent the action requested. http://www.gibinsoft.net/gipoutils/fileutil/
