Free file management software for Windows

Created by Cedrick Collomb, Unlocker is a free program that allows you to access any locked files on your computer. It uses bypassing technology for when you can’t open files or forgot your password.

What is Unlocker?

Unlocker was created with the intent of bypassing any locked files on your computer. Specifically, it was designed to counteract a certain bug that’s all too familiar to Windows users. This bug often comes in many forms but ultimately leaves you unable to access or delete any files because of this. Unlocker is a quick and simple solution and is entirely free to use.

How does it work?

Unlocker works by forcing the handle to shut down entirely without terminating the application that’s running it. From there, you may receive a few error messages. No need to worry, as this is just your computer reacting to your attempt to open the locked file via a third-party application. Once Unlocker has finally done its work, you are then able to unlock files, delete them, or kill the process of the file by clicking on the ‘Kill Process’ option.

Top features of Unlocker

Not only can you unlock protected files, but there’s a handy tool for moving and managing them on your operating system. You can also force quit and delete files. If you need to unload DLLs, you can do so without restarting the system.

Our take

Unfortunately, Unlocker does have a few bugs and these problems can usually be resolved by rebooting or reinstalling the program. However, it’s an excellent tool to have since there are few unlocking software that gives you this kind of quality for absolutely free.

Should you download it?

Yes, if you have any locked files on your computer. Unlocker is an excellent tool to have if you ever need it. We can recommend this one. If you’re looking for similar products, you can try TeraCopy and Ninite. While they don’t have the same range of functions and features, you can easily manage and move your files on a Windows device.
