You can check / uncheck each locked item to enable / disable locking protection. You can remove an item in this list by right-clicking it and selecting “Remove From List”. Furthermore, you can multi-select as many items as you want and enable / disable their protection or remove them from list as per your need. This helps you maintain your favorite locking list and you can keep some items disabled and enable them later.

Please note that the locking list you maintain is specific to your Locker. It is not universal; it was designed to profile each Locker as a separate User. If you can’t find an item you locked in a particular Locker, then maybe you Locked that item by logging into a different Locker and are trying to access it through another.

You can also lock programs (.exe) anywhere on your computer or in your program files folder, like Outlook Express and other such programs that keeps data personal to you.
