That's right. Unlocker has finally been updated to x64 support.

Unlocker 1.9.0 for 32 and 64 bit - 5/7/2010

- New feature: Complete support for 64 bit operating systems with signed driver.
- New language: Basque thanks to Beñat Antxustegi.
- New language: Galician thanks to Delio Docampo Cordeiro.
- New language: Macedonian thanks to Nikola Trencevski.
- New language: Malaysian thanks to Arjuna Puteraz.
- Improved behavior: No false positives for 32 bit version.
- Improved behavior: Handles are now sorted by process instead of appearing in random order when launching Unlocker.
- Improved UI: Locked DLL show as DLL instead of handle number.
- Improved UI: Fixed same process appearing differently depending on cases.
- Promotional feature: Fully optional eBay shortcuts, Bing or Quickstores toolbar depending on location.

I think the FileHippo link only has the x86 version of Unlocker.

Excellent. Thanks very much

No 64-bit portable yet?

MarcLister · 6 Jul 2010 at 18:05

Nope, nothing on the Unlocker site.

I've tried this program several times in the past and I don't think it's ever unlocked anything for me.. I must be doing it wrong :/.

Same.

The same with Unlockit too.

Malwarebytes' File Assassin usually does the job for me.

I think Unlocker was only ever any good on XP.

It never unlocked anything on Vista or Windows 7.

Is this ever needed on anything newer than XP? I've NEVER been in a situation where I have needed to use this since I stopped using XP.

Had files I couldn't get rid of dozens of times with W7 64bit. Never tried unlocker but this does occur and the standard solutions don't always help.

It does happen, but you are right in assuming it is a rarity. I haven't needed to unlock anything since last year.

Main link comes up as an unsafe page for me.

Happy · 7 Jul 2010 at 10:09

Ah fair enough, must be lucky I haven't come into a scenario where it's needed
