Hey everyone!
Ok, got a little challenge here, and haven't found a viable answer yet. Here it is:
When you download say a .zip file from the internet, or another computer, it puts a "block" file security attribute on it. So if you don't right click on the zip, click properties, and click unblock - when you unzip it without removing that, all of the files in that zip will carry that "block" file attribute.
So, here's the problem. I have about 15gb of zip files, that I've extracted and put the files and folders, in multiple places on my HDD. Furthermore, I have made modifications to some of those files. We're talking about too many files, to try and track down, right click on each one and unblock it, one by one.
I'm looking for a batch process that will search through and unblock an entire file hierarchy. So not only do the following: Actions
right click file click properties, click unblock, click ok) but can search through an entire file structure and attempt the same action if necessary.
Now, the trick is, the file search. If the batch process doesn't recognize if a file is already unblocked, I want to make sure that it's not going to foul the process in some way. However, if the process just stopped and had to be restarted again when that happened, I would be ok with that.
Let me know what you geniuses figure out, because unfortunately I'm not that smart, or I wouldn't be in this predicament.
Thanks for your time,
