This may work, depending on what you mean by "locked. Right click on file or folder and select Properties from the Menu 3. This site in other languages x. Handle requires a local admin to run so you will need to open Command Prompt as Administrator first and run it inside.
For example, I can use the following command to find out which applications are currently running to access my Desktop. Then, I can use the following command to terminate the process to release the handle. There is also a GUI version of Handle, called Process Explorer , that you can try out if command line tool is a bit too much to handle for you.
I already use it as an task manager replacement. There you can close this file handle by force without killing the hole application. I have had problems with file be lock. It turned out that the file were set to read-only because Carbonite had them queued for backup.
Normally not a problem, unless you have a large number of files pending backup and the locked file is at the end of the queue.
Carbonite SO sucks. Thanks for the info Kent. This solution only works if you haven't modified the files that came out of the ZIP file. Show 5 more comments. No longer just Beta, this is released and works quite well. I extracted a big zip and forgot to unblock it first, then deleted the zip to save space.
This saved me downloading it again or a load of manual work : — Danny Tuppeny. This worked for me but didn't provide any feedback at the cmd line. I also tweaked it slightly, if you're already in the folder then you can just do dir -Recurse Unblock-File — user Works like a champ. This should be the accepted answer.

Windows also uses streams for other purposes. Very rare - data streams are hardly used for anything since it's an undocumented feature. It will be safe if as schnapple has said - he just wants to unblock files in a certain directory that are known to be documents received over the internet.
As a result, when you first download something from the Internet, the only data stream you will have is that "Unsafe File" data stream. Why do you think they're not documented? Don't blindly delete all alternate data streams, unless you have backup copies of those NTFS encrypted files. Show 9 more comments.

By far the least amount of work. Still working well 10 years later on Windows The nice thing about it is that it does not assume the files originated from a ZIP file.
I don't have that option on windows 7 and article only mentions XP. Still, looks interesting. Just because you don't have a User Policy key only means that it hasn't been set up that way; you can still use it.

Download the Sysinternals Streams utility. Unzip and copy streams. Create a new text file and rename it to something like "unblocker. Copy the below registry script in it: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.
Double-click the saved file to merge it into the registry. It worked for me, after I added the path to streams. I know this is an old thread but thanks. There are multiple versions of the same reg script on the internet and most of them don't work.
