Steve Krause Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 What do you mean by unlock? What are you trying to do and what error message(s) if any are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 If you are encountering an error that is preventing from accessing certain files in Windows 7, you can try taking ownership of them.

Guest kx3 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Wish I could help.... sorry I've never seen the locked symbol at a file name on windows 7...??? What is it you cannot do? Can you not open the files or copy them or?? Where are you seeing this? Is it in another user profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
