It seems like on Windows I all the time come across those darned files I can’t delete because another process is using it. Up until a few months past I have always used a program called Unlocker to get around this, and it has served me fine. I had to bring to an end using it, yet, when I moved to Vista 64-bit seeing as it only includes support for 32-bit versions of Windows.
LockHunter, on the other hand, is a similar free utility that works on Windows 2000 up to Windows 7, and comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. Just like Unlocker it integrates into your Windows Explorer context menu to save some clicks each time you wish to unlock a file.
Here’s a rundown on several of the features:
Shows processes locking a file or folder
Allows to unlock, delete, copy or rename a protected file
Allows to kill locking process
Allows to take away locking processes from hard drive
Integrates in to Explorer menu
It deletes files into the recycle bin, so you may restore them if... Read More

Have you ever installed a program and decided later on that you didn’t want it anymore? The natural thing is to uninstall it, but it never seems like Windows removes every trace of the application. I’ve been in this situation quite a few times, but thanks to Tinhed of cybernet forum, I won’t be having so many troubles anymore.
He pointed out a free program called Revo Uninstaller that is kind of the all-in-one suite for keeping your computer clean. After trying it out, (it works on Windows 2000 and newer) I have to say that it is an impressive application. It not only uninstalled software and notified me of the “leftovers,” but it also let me manage the applications that start with Windows as well as cleanup some of the other junk on my computer.

This is really the shining point of Revo so I saw it fitting to cover it first. When you go to uninstall a program, Revo begins scanning your computer looking for the files that were created during the installation ... Read More

Google is a pretty powerful search tool. You knew that. You can use it to find information, but you can also use it to find downloadable MP3s, books, videos, and other items. We’re going to assume you’re just looking for legally available downloads, but the truth of the matter is if someone’s posted an MP3 (copyrighted or not) to their web page, Google can find it.
But who has the time to memorize all the search modifiers like “-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(.mp3|.wma|.ogg) ?” That’s where Google Hacks comes in. This handy little app will let you search for dozens of file types, song lyrics, cached pages, fonts, and other little goodies hanging out on the web.
