Windows Security refuses to let me move my documents within the same folder

(1/7) > >>

Racco:
For some reason Windows security gives me a popup that says "These files might be harmful to your computer" (see attached png).  I have been with Microsoft help for 2 days now and they can't find where the corruption is.  I created a second user profile in this machine and this problem does NOT happen there.  So, I believe somehow my user profile is corrupted.  I would consider moving (it would be a lot of work), however, this is where I have setup shop and would like to stay here if at all possible.

This is still a problem AFTER I ran ALL the tweaking programs from you site.  so this issue is hidden somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have you reset your internet security settings yet?

What is happening is every file has a stream on it saying where it came from. Your internet security is set to where it blocks anything it doesnt think came from the computer. At least that is what it looks like so far.

So I actually made a easy to use right click function which removes that stream from a file or files so Windows doesnt think it came from somewhere else.

Download streams.exe and put it on the root of the C: drive

Then run the reg file in the zip I attached and on the right click menu on folders and files you will see a unblock option. See if that helps at all :-)

Thanks a Ton.  Just to make sure I don't FUBAR this. is this what you mean?  See the attachments.  in the first one I am asking if I placed the right file on what you mean by the Root of C:/;  in the second one I am asking if this is the choice you want me to take?

Thanks so much for the help.

Shane:
Open the zip file I attached, in it is a .reg file, run that file. (You didnt run the .reg file yet, it is inside the zip[ file you downloaded)

When you do and you right click on a file or folder you will get what looks like in the pictures I attached.

When you do a folder it will do all the files and folders under that folder as well :-)

Thanks, I did as your suggested.  I ran through all of my documents, and the file I used as an example in my original request. No Joy.
I got the same results (shown in the attached images.  I show running the Un-Block program in the first image and the results in the second image when I tried to move the document back into its folder.
