Software Update: Unlocker 1.8.9

Deleting or renaming files or folders in Windows is only possible when they are not in use. In most cases, however, the Unlocker program is able to release these files or folders, so that a desired operation can still be performed. The program nestles in the context menu and can therefore easily be called via the right mouse button. On Monday version 1.8.9 of Unlocker was released and the changelog of this version looks like this.

Improved behavior:

• When deleting files they will be sent first to the recycle bin if possible, only if not possible more abrasive deletion will be used.
• Unlocker can be started directly from the start menu to browse to the desired file or folder.

Fixed bugs:

• Handles should not be missing anymore on Windows7.
• Potential conflict with regular explorer use when opening multiple files or other shell extensions such as 7-zip.
• UI should now appear properly when done from clean install.
• No hangs due to looping junctions should happen anymore.
• Deleting junctions will not erase original files anymore.
• Managing your computer on Windows 7 will not crash anymore.
• Bitmap handles should not leak anymore from the shell extension.
• Many other potential sources of bugs and crashes.
