Release All Locks	PeerLock will release the lock handles of all the files currently locked on the target folders. When using this option the target files will not enter the Idle period before being released. If using Local Detection, the target files will be permanently released. The source files would need to be closed and re-opened for the lock handles to be re-applied to the target files. When using Server Detection, the target files will be temporarily released. If at the next Lock Frequency interval PeerLock detects that the source files are opened, it will re-apply the lock handles to the target files. Once an item is released it will be added to the Release list. Note: Starting with version 3.0, PeerLock supports File Server Mode Detection only.
