Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

DeadLock v1.5.1

👉 Unlock files and folders that Windows refuses to release.

DeadLock can be used to unlock files and folders that are locked by the system or other applications. This is especially useful when Windows will not let you delete, move, copy or rename something because it claims the file is still in use. DeadLock can unlock files and folders, take ownership, and help remove stubborn items without digging through Task Manager or command-line tools.

DeadLock also supports command-line arguments, so advanced users can unlock files or folders directly from PowerShell or CMD without opening the full graphical interface. It is open source, lightweight, free to use and designed specifically for Windows.

• Unlock files and folders locked by Windows or other applications
• Delete, move or copy locked files and folders
• Take full ownership of stubborn files and folders
