Which is the best folder and file unlocker utility?
I used one before that was excellent, but now it disappeared from my right-click menu after I did some cleanup of 30 GB temporary files etc. And I can't remember what it's called. I have another such utility already installed also, but that one doesn't work very well because often after I have received the message the folder or file has been unlocked it still isn't.
I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits.

You should be able to download Unlocker 1.9.2 from File Hippo without much issue.

John, honestly there are no sites offering Unlocker without other apps bundled.
In fact if you go to the emptyloop page using FireFox you get
But if you persist and go to the page below all the fake download links is the warning
I think we have to accept that all the download sites need funds and they get it from bundling some less than helpful stuff with the useful things and we just have to take care we only get what we need added to our computers. This is the only reason I joined the thread.

The site I went to allows me to download Unlocker with no bundled packages. I go Unlocker (App) ->Website and it allows me to download the plain package. I was just there in IE before posting.

That's worth investigating. Can you post the download URL from IE's history?
I went here:
http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/download.php and clicked download,
which, true, took me to another site. But when I closed the other site (very quickly) the download opened and offered to allow me the plain file.
I do remember the above (now that you jog my memory), but I can get there and get just the file.

It may be that I can just look past all the advertising stuff. It is there for sure. I look past and download the file. The file itself is very safe to use.
I've just used that link and got an installer (Unlocker1.9.2.exe) containing Bubbledock, YouTube Accelerator and Genieo bundled with Unlocker. John can you try running the download you've got?- You should then see what's going on.
Unlocker from my Snapfiles link downloaded a portable version. No installation necessary.

I'm not sure if this might be the unlocker I used before that worked excellent:
http://emcosoftware.com/unlock-it
But I can't download it, the download gets interrupted all the time.

Thanks, the download worked finally. I started using UnLock IT now, and there are no issues at all as with my other installed unlocker. So it unlocks everything easily.
Thanks for the update and I was happy to assist
