Yes, I thought it was a joke, too[^].
And this[^].
And at least a dozen others.
It's reminiscent of what happens if you tell your granny that the format command is used for cleaning discs.

On win10, with visual studio in order to open forms in a designer on a project you downloaded you have to unblock the corresponding resource file usually using the shell and right clicking on the file and clicking "unblock"
For a project with a lot of resources this gets really tedious.
Does anyone have a trick little utility for this? Something other than maybe powershell (i prefer not to have to fire that up)

Unblock-File[^]
Pipe your folder to the command.

I don't know if this is applicable in this case, but typically if you extract the content of a zip file that itself got the "downloaded from the internet" attribute, all extracted files will get that attribute as well.
My solution when I get this is to remove that attribute from the .zip file first (right-click in Explorer, Properties, Unblock), then extract. The attribute won't be propagated.

For the details:
The indicator telling that this file was retrieved from the Internet is represented by an alternate data stream (ADS) in the file, named Zone.Identifier. Some software saves only the "ZoneId" in this stream, others save the orgin URL as well.
In a script, you can remove all ASDs from a file using the SysInternals "streams" utility. Or you can use a recent version of PowerShell, which allows you to remove a selected ADS without affecting others.
(I provided this hint, as a solution to issues reported by our customers, to one of our developers who has been set to putting together a tool file for our Windows customers. He sneered back (in an email, so this is a direct quote): "I am fortunately not a windows developer, I hope I will never have to claim that". Maybe he is the wrong man for the job...)

Jeeze, how many times have I put off and put off looking for a method or tool for fixing some niggling problem, only to find that it's already sitting on my machine in either the SysInternals or the NirSoft directory?

I was going to bring that into the conversation but couldn't quite bring myself to writing a few paragraphs about it.
Something else that should work: Copy the downloaded file(s) to a destination that only supports FAT32 (even if just temporarily), then bring it back. Unlike NTFS, FAT32 doesn't support alternate streams, so it effectively drops the attribute.

How is that with *nix file systems - would they do?
The "beauty" of *nix file systems is that they provide no support whatsoever beyond being the name of a (dynamic length) sequence of octets, of no structure, no semantics. Hooking up several "octet[]" in some semantically meeaningful fashion seem sort of counter-logical to the very idea of *nix files being context free.

I would imagine that any file system that doesn't support alternate streams the way NTFS does, and make no attempt to replicate the functionality, would work just the same. I just used FAT32 as an example, since in the Windows world, it's probably the lowest common denominator.

I pick none. Ante up.
