What is Locked Files Wizard?
The Locked Files Wizard is a versatile tool that enables users to manage and manipulate files and folders, even those in use by the system or other applications. This utility allows users to delete, move, or rename files and directories that are currently being utilized, potentially addressing issues caused by worms, trojans, or other malware. The wizard provides the ability to display and potentially stop the processes or services that are utilizing executables, folders, or dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), allowing users to retry the desired operation without the need for a system restart, saving valuable time. Furthermore, the wizard offers the convenience of quickly selecting the image path of a process (Select File from Process) or a program that runs at startup from the Registry (Select File from Registry), enabling users to manage these elements efficiently. Additionally, the package includes a command-line version, providing users with the flexibility to incorporate the tool into scripts or execute it directly from a Command window. However, users should exercise caution when using this powerful utility, as improper use could potentially result in system crashes or prevent installed programs from functioning correctly
