UnBlocker

From getting warnings when attempting to download a file to not being able to extract archives or try to open an application someone else shared with you, sometimes it seems like Windows refuses to let you manage a file because you have insufficient permissions.

UnBlocker is a small utility designed to help you overcome corrupt security blockages that prevent you from accessing archives or opening files you regularly work with.

After a quick and uneventful setup, you come face to face with a simplistic and user-friendly interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles. Overcoming the issue that prevents you from accessing the desired file entails specifying the location first.

In case you do not know or only know vaguely where it is stored, you can have the application scan the entire directory. Depending on the size of your drive or folders, the process can take some time, so be patient. Once the operation is complete, you can preview the list of problematic files along with their size and security stream name.

Functionality-wise, the program is as easy to use as it looks, meaning that you can select the desired file and hit the Unblock button located in the upper right corner. You should receive a message stating whether the operation is successful or not.

The app can be especially useful for Office documents that cannot be accessed because you do not have the necessary file permissions or with errors stipulating that you do not have sufficient free memory and disk space. Another common error that the can be fixed with the utility is the one stating that an unexpected error occurred while reading the file.

In the eventuality that you are unable to open or use files shared by other users or that were compiled on different operating systems, then perhaps UnBlocker can help you remove the security blockage responsible for the inconvenience.
