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.

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.
