I ran across one called LockHunter late last year when I was purchasing another proggie from the developer. Haven't tried LockHunter, but the utility I bought is a nicely written software - that might or might not be a good sign. LH supports 32 and 64 bit Windows. It's still in beta, so that's a consideration. By the way, Unlocker is a 255 KB download while LockHunter is ~1.2 MB. http://lockhunter.com/ hth Ron

Yeah, I agree that the bundleware concept sucks, but until and if it becomes non-optional, I can live with it. YMMV. -- John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts sent through Google Groups. I also block as many posts from anonymous remailers (for example, usenet4all.se, x-privat.org, dizum.com, tioat.net, frell.theremailer.net) as possible due to forgeries posted through them. No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited, trial or web wares OR warez for me, please.
