How many times have you tried to delete or move a file only to \t\t\t\tbe told you’re not allowed to delete it or move it? Wait! It’s \t\t\t\tmy party and I’ll cry if I want to! And it’s my computer and \t\t\t\tI’ll delete and move any darn files if I want to. But sometimes \t\t\t\tWindows just won’t let you do what you want to do. Bad Windows!<\/p>\n

You need to take control of the situation. You need the power – \t\t\t\tthe power of UnLock-IT. Using UnLock-IT you can scoff at Windows \t\t\t\terror messages like:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Cannot delete file: Access is denied
\n\u00b7 There has been a sharing violation.
\n\u00b7 The source or destination file may be in use.
\n\u00b7 The file is in use by another program or user.
\n\u00b7 Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the \t\t\t\tfile is not currently in use.<\/p>\n

Ha-ha! Windows is soooo sure. But you’re in charge with \t\t\t\tUnLock-IT a free utility that tells Windows you’re the boss. \t\t\t\tWell, if you’re not working with EB you’re the boss anyway. If \t\t\t\tyou’re working with her, forget it. There isn’t a program in the \t\t\t\tworld that can tame her. But you can tame Windows with \t\t\t\tUnLock-IT.<\/p>\n

Here’s what the developer Mr. Emil Emco (I just made that up) \t\t\t\thas to say:<\/p>\n

“Are you struggling with the Windows message that access to \t\t\t\tresource is denied, or it’s in use by another program when you \t\t\t\ttry to modify, rename, move or delete a file or folder? In most \t\t\t\tcases this message means that a file or folder is locked, but \t\t\t\tit’s not really clear what to do without an assistance. EMCO \t\t\t\tUnlock IT can provide you with such assistance and help you to \t\t\t\tunlock file or folder.<\/p>\n

How does a file or folder unlocking work? First of all, you \t\t\t\tshould select file or folder and check it for locks. EMCO UnLock \t\t\t\tIT is able to detect a different types of locks and if they have \t\t\t\tbeen detected, display a list of processes that hold locks. \t\t\t\tHaving this information you can close corresponding applications \t\t\t\tto release locks by a natural way. Alternatively, you can force \t\t\t\timmediate locks releasing directly from EMCO UnLock IT. In this \t\t\t\tcase the application tries to unlock the resource by closing \t\t\t\tfile and library handles. If it doesn’t allow to make an unlock, \t\t\t\tthe application prompts to terminate processes that hold \t\t\t\tlocks…”<\/p>\n

Oh yes, Mr. Emil Emco is anything but laconic; he is wildly \t\t\t\tverbose. (English teachers: Note the correct use of the \t\t\t\tsemi-colon; tell me you’re proud of me!) We’re going to ask him \t\t\t\t(Mr. Emco, not the English teacher) to write an article for \t\t\t\tInfoAve Premium someday and then you’ll be begging for us to \t\t\t\twrite something because we’re so thrifty with words!<\/p>\n

If you would like to take back your Windows computer and make it \t\t\t\tcomply with your wishes and not Windows’, then Emco’s UnLock-IT \t\t\t\tmight be just the sort of program you’ll love. \u00a0It works with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32\/64bit)<\/p>\n
