Unlocker is an application which can unlock any files or folders from the system. This is very useful when you want to delete some files but windows lock them.
Had you seen this warning message when you try to delete some file/folder?
This is probably cause by other application is using the file or folder. Sometimes, even we turn off all applications that related with the file/folder, the message box still popup. This is probably cause by some hidden application that use it, or probably it is a virus/spyware?
By using Unlocker, you can unlock the file/folder so that you can delete it. If you run Unlocker Assistant, a popup window will automatically appear when you trying to delete locked files.

Vista Drive Icon is an application which can changes the drive icon shown in My Computer, to a nearly Vista style drive icon, which can show the free space of a particular drive, with a smooth colored horizontal bar.
By default, Windows XP will not show the free space of your drive, unless you change the view to Details. But, Windows Vista did show us the free space. Now, Windows XP user also can get this feature by using this application.
The screenshots above show us the drive icon of my C: drive before and after the installation. The tiny horizontal bar show us the particular drive’s free space. When your drive is running on low disk space, the bar’s color will turn red as shown on the screenshot below:
Another insteresting feature is that a small Windows icon will appear on the drive that contains your windows system.
This application can be installed on Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP. I am not sure that will it compatible with Windows Vista or not, but i believe no one will install on Vista, right? The memory usage is quite low and i try to install it on my old PC, it seems like running smoothly.

Our office or school normally will filter the content that deliver to or from us. It is to avoid us to access illegal websites or download illegal contents. Sometimes, even our Internet Service Provider install the filter to avoid access to certain website. So, i believe everyone will try some ways to bypass them, am i right?
Some people trying to use Proxy Server or VPN to bypass the filter. But, most of the free Proxy Servers are overloaded and it slow down the speed while VPN required monthly subscription. So, is there any other way to bypass the filter? Yes, it does. Thanks to BlogIsEverything, which provide an introduction about convert your URL to HEX code.
There are a few services which can provide conversion from text to hex:
- SwingNote
- Centricle
An example for the conversion:
Text: www.techsnack.net
Hex: %62%6c%6f%67%2e%74%65%63%68%73%6e%61%63%6b%2e%6e%65%74
Paste the Hex code in your browser and you will then being point to www.techsnack.net.
Note: I try to paste them in Firefox, but it returns the search result from Google. But it works fine for IE. I still haven’t try with other browsers, anyone willing to help me try on them?
