Unlocker is a tool that can trace and "unlock" the locking protection commonly used in system files. However, its main use is to terminate the processes that are using a certain file, or force the processes to stop using the file, so the user can safely delete, rename or move the file. It is written by the French programmer Cedrick 'Nitch' Collomb.
