unlock and delete file?


 Share

Recommended Posts

hi,

i want to delete or move some files which are locked. after searching i found it's possible using registry on restart but my code is not working.

RegWrite("HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager", "PendingFileRenameOperations", "REG_MULTI_SZ", "\??\" & "C:\Kill.exe" & @CRLF & "!\??\" & @ProgramFilesDir & "\moved_kill.exe")

why not working?

Unresolved topics:1- Please help me in Editing or replacing a page in FireFox and IE.Please have a look at them.

I haven't really had much success with AutoIt, and hooking into the proper processes to unhook file locking parameters (not even sure if I explained that in the proper terms), but I would recommend you download a utility called Unlocker, and use it's command line options to unlock and delete files.

Also search the Example Scripts forum. There's a somewhat recent post (probably last 5 pages) that has an undocumented windows function (through DLLCall) that someone has written that can unlock files.

Thanks,

Jarvis

Thanks for the reply, but can you please tell me the correct command for unlocker?

i tried

Run(@ScriptDir & "\Unlocker.exe -shd")
;
Run(@ScriptDir & "\Unlocker.exe /s /h /d")
;
Run(@ScriptDir & "\Unlocker.exe -s -h -d")

but it shows GUI instead of directly deleting from Command line.

2nd- even it is not possible using that registry key?

Of course you would have to load $s_Path and $s_File with the appropriate information in your script, and you could have it all as one variable, but I usually have it broken up as the last time I "Automated" unlocker, my files were in the temp directory, and I had the file names being grabbed through another function...

I hope this helps,

i was forgot to mention file+path in my previous code.

i tried your code and also the following

Run("C:\Program Files\Unlocker\Unlocker.exe -s -d " & "C:\1.txt" & '"')
if @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", @Error)
EndIf

but no luck in deleting a file...

ugh... your quotes are muffed... try...

Run('"C:\Program Files\Unlocker\Unlocker.exe" -s -d "C:\1.txt"')
if @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", @Error)
EndIf
Larry,

You're correct... I missed the extra quotes around Unlocker.exe :), however I have a working one that doesn't have the extra quotes so it's probably just an extra precaution.

Thanks,

Jarvis

@ trancexx

text was changed in some other language, -deleted-

thanks a lot for this, i have not tested yet but i think it will work because i saw a c++ code like this.

i could not understand, how to append, give more then one file in list?

thanks once again. also add it in example scripts or create your own UDF for such situations.

RegWrite("HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager", "PendingFileRenameOperations", "REG_MULTI_SZ", "\??\" & "C:\Kill.exe" & @CRLF & "!\??\" & @ProgramFilesDir & "\moved_kill.exe")
I think the original problem was using '@CRLF' as a file seperator, rather than just using '@LF'. Here is a snippet of code from one of my programs which works- in my case I used 'chr(10)', but I'm pretty sure it's the same as '@LF'. This code will replace 'sfc_os.dll' with 'sfc_os.dll.tmp' (which will become the new 'sfc_os.dll' on next boot). The tmp extension will disappear. Hope this helps.

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager","PendingFileRenameOperations","REG_MULTI_SZ","\??\" & @SystemDir & "\sfc_os.dll.tmp" & chr(10) & "!\??\" & @SystemDir & "\sfc_os.dll")
