Unlocker
Every so often you download a file, and when your finished with it, you go to delete it and then you get the famous error message. ” Windows was not able to remove the selected file because it is currently in use” this just drives me nuts when I see it. Ok, right so I just go and close whatever window I had open that caused the file to be in use and try again.
Nope still doesn’t work. Right then, I’ll close every single window and program, that should do the trick. Try to remove the file again, but nope still you keep getting that error message.
You’re getting worried at this stage, is this a virus or what? So you go and reboot your machine, then you go once more to delete the file, but still no luck, error message yet again.
So what do you do? Are you stuck with this file forever? Well not anymore, now there is a program called “Unlocker” which will solve all your problems.
recyclebin Remove Those Stubborn Files From Windows 7
It works with both Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit (there is a different version for each so be sure to download the right one) and even better it’s free.
It works out which processes are running and causing the file to be in use, and kills them which then allows it to delete the file. What’s more, you don’t even have to reboot your machine unlike other file removal programs.
Just a word of note though, because of the nature of this program, several antivirus programs mark it as a false positive and think it’s malware. But rest assured, it’s not and there’s proof of that on the developers blog
You can download the
32 Bit version here http://www.brothersoft.com/download-unlocker-208761.html
64 Bit version here http://www.brothersoft.com/download-unlocker-60547.html

Windows sidebar.exe Memory Leak Fix Vista & 7
As a sysadmin I like to know what is happening on my computer. Knowing what processes are running and how much memory they’re using seems to be a common pass time for a lot of people. While I run Linux servers and nothing else, my preferred workstation operating system is Windows. Currently I’m running Windows 7, but I’ve noticed this problem also exists in the Windows Vista version as well.
Quite some time back when using Vista, I noticed the sidebar.exe process generally consumes vast/large amounts of memory. My Googling concluded consumption varied depending on degrees of usage, what gadgets are being used and the system uptime. This blogger recorded 1.3Gb of RAM hogged by the sidebar.exe process. I just wanted to make a blog post though and say, if you’re reading this… you’re not alone in your confusion brother.
What is this all about? If looking in task manager and running the Windows Sidebar application, you might notice sidebar.exe using lots of memory. There’s a lot of confusion over why it uses so much memory and what the cause is. When a process eats into available memory and doesn’t release unused memory to the point of exhaustion – it is called a memory leak (more at Wikipedia).
Most people will tell you, just “restart your computer”, “kill the process”, “just don’t use it” or “delete the gadget” and it will fix the problem. Well… I have to stop right here and have a rant… Any person with a lick of common sense will tell you it doesn’t fix the damn problem!! It’s infuriating to read posts by n00bs who honestly have no idea what they’re on about, suggesting these dumb ideas. There is a problem! Covering your eyes and saying “I can’t see it” doesn’t fix it!
Some people (including myself) actually value the easy accessibility of information the side bar can deliver. There are lots of great gadgets out there which will give you cool key information about your system, operating environment and access social networking feeds like Twitter, etc.
So what is the deal with this memory over consumption thing anyway? Well I found this excellent blog post by Mark Russinovich, “The Case of the Frozen Clock Gadget” which takes a detailed look into the problem. He concludes the problem is “down to a leaky Sidebar API” – which doesn’t seem surprising considering Microsoft.
Being Microsoft, and knowing this problem has prevailed through both Windows Vista and Windows 7 now – I’m getting the sense we’ll be lucky to ever see this sidebar memory leak problem resolved. To think, just a minor tweak or rewrite of a function could potentially spark spontaneous celebration and world peace should it even appear on Microsoft’s radar. A little bit of me dies each time I think about it – knowing if Windows was open source, we’d all have this problem nailed by now.
So what can you do to fix this problem? Nothing it seems. While others have suggested you can simply not use Windows Sidebar, restarting the process (killing and starting again), or restarting the computer will temporarily recover your lost memory, it isn’t a long term fix. Really though, considering the amount of RAM we’re running on these days it doesn’t make that much difference personally to my usage. Even if my overall usage does get extreme, the operating system should page/swap the unused memory from RAM to disk. The only downside to that is temporary degraded performance during swapping/paging.
ive written a batch script, and confirmed this works in Windows 7 (should work in Windows Vista too).
get it here sidebar .bat http://tinyurl.com/69rlepr
You can make it a task scheduler entry or just keep it handy in the start menu for when u notice sidebar.exe not releasing ram.
