v1.0.0
📦 Version 1.0.0 — Initial Release
This is the first release of Simple File Handle Inspector — a lightweight utility for checking which processes are locking a file or folder, directly from the Windows context menu.
✨ Features
- 🖱️ Adds right-click context menu entries for files and folders
- 🔍 Uses Sysinternals'
handle.exeto detect file/folder locks - 📌 Displays the process name, PID, and full executable path
- 🧹 Includes a cleanup file for easy uninstallation
⚠️ Notes
-
📎 On Windows 11, context menu entries appear under
“Show more options” (Shift + right-click) —
this is a system limitation and cannot be bypassed -
🛡️ Some browsers or antivirus software may flag the archive as suspicious.
This is a false positive caused by automation scripts and.batfiles.
The utility is completely local and does not modify system files.
📁 Included Files
configure.bat— sets up context menu integrationcleanup (run before deleting the utility).bat— removes all entries and cleans up.scripts\— contains the core scripts and iconhandle.exe&Eula.txt(in.scriptsfolder) — official Sysinternals binary and EULA (unmodified)
✅ Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11
