An even better utility, the free unlocker.

It will not only show who is locking the file or folder, but will also let to unlock it, just by pressing a button.

Apparently it just deletes the handle to the file from the offending thread, so you don't need to stop the whole locking process.

You can add it to the User Menu - as good as having a plugin or built-in feature.
