Windows Blocks files
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2017 4:55 am
Recently been updating some devices here and I noticed that quite a few files within my Scope folders when I right click and check the Properties of the file they have a Security message at the bottom of the General tab that says
This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer
For individual files it is easy to just press the Unblock button next to the message and it will unblock, but when you need to check many files it would take a very long time. I have come across this before but a long time back and can't remember how I sorted it out. But I am sure there must be a way to do this quickly, or batch unblocker that can do this a bit like the FixAttrib.bat file that Valis created for us in the presets section, which unticks all the Hidden and Read Only attributes of a file.
If anyone has a good method for checking and unblocking Blocked files, I would appreciate your comments. Thanks
