A free tool for handling files and folders, locked by Windows, system services or other applications. Using it, you can rename, move or delete any locked file or folder at the next system restart.

How EMCO MoveOnBoot Can Be Used?

You can rely on EMCO MoveOnBoot when your files are folders are locked and you unable to delete, move or rename them. Unlike other tools, EMCO MoveOnBoot doesn't terminate processes that hold locks or make other destructive changes. Instead, it uses Windows mechanism to manage files at restart, when system services or applications can't set locks, so this approach is safe and natural. In what cases EMCO MoveOnBoot can help you? You can find some examples below.

* Update system files. You cannot update system files directly, because in many cases they are locked by a system. But you can place updated file to another location and use EMCO MoveOnBoot to replace system file at restart.
* Uninstall applications. Sometimes you cannot uninstall applications completely, because some files or folders can be locked by other processes. Using EMCO MoveOnBoot you can schedule remained resources for deletion at the next restart.
* Cleanup from viruses. Very often viruses set locks for resources to prevent their deletion from a file system. EMCO MoveOnBoot helps you to delete locked files or folders to cleanup your system from viruses, if you know what resources are damaged.
