When you download a file and open it and it says that the file is locked. Which means you have to enable the editing. The person who created the original filed locked it for security reasons.
To unlock it, on windows > Right click the file > Properties > then unlock it
Also: If you are trying to access a file on a shared server, it could mean that someone else has that file open, and you'll be able to open the file once they close it. Many programs will not let more than user at a time edit files.

Why does and Microsoft Word or Excel show the message 'file is in use and locked for editing by another user. Please wait.' when it is in use by you and you are trying to save the file?
You most likelly are using a file at work, located on a shared directory (where many people can access the file). The first person to open the file is the only one who can edit the file; all others can only view the contents of the file. If you need to edit a file that is locked, copy the file to your local computer (hard drive or desktop) and make your changes.

How can you get to MineEdit on Minecraft?
MineEdit is a separate mod of Minecraft. It is not assessable on or in Minecraft itself. Open the downloaded folder and extract its files. Then go into that folder and look for a MineEdit Application file. Just double click on that and it will open. For the inventory editing to work you must not be in-game. After editing save your inventory and open the world.
