  Functionality a good operating system should provide

  Pros: This is really a nice little piece of shareware. It can help troubleshoot what process is locking a file. Often (but not always) it can also unlock the file for you.

  Cons: Running the Assistant all the time is not really necessary if you add a Context Menu handler to the Windows Explorer which you can access without the program running. The most recent versions permit you to select which components are installed, so this is not really an issue.
