<p> Wrote a command line utility which will unblock folders and files passed to it as a parameter. You can pass as many files/folders as you want as a parameter. If function detects "-r" or "/r" as first parameter, will
unblock files recursively for directories that are passed to it. Will perform following actions: </p>
<p>
<s>1) determine version of </s><s>powershell</s><s> installed on computer</s>
</p>
<p>
<s>2) if </s><s>powershell</s><s> version is greater than or equal to 3, will use </s><s>powershell</s><s> to unblock the files. Otherwise, will download "streams.exe" for 32-bit systems and "streams64.exe" for 64-bits systems
from </s><s>sysinternals</s><s> live server and unblock files by deleting the alternate streams on indicated folders.</s>

If function detects "-r" or "/r" as first parameter, will unblock files recursively for directories that are passed to it. Will perform following actions:
1) determine version of powershell installed on computer
2) if powershell version is greater than or equal to 3, will use powershell to unblock the files. Otherwise, will download "streams.exe" for 32-bit systems and "streams64.exe" for 64-bits systems from sysinternals live server and unblock files by deleting the alternate streams on indicated folders.

<p> What exactly do you mean by unblock? </p>
<p> Does this take ownership of files and allow you to delete them when owned by another user or does this literally remove locks on files when held by another process, such as when <abbr

<p> Hello Sir. No. This script will allow you to eliminate occurrences like these: </p>

<a href="https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/applications/sslimageproxy/interface/image.php?url=http://thewindowsclub.thewindowsclubco.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/unblock.jpg" title="Enlarge image" data-fileid="undefined" data-wrappedlink="" data-ipslightbox="" data-ipslightbox-group="undefined"><img alt="unblock.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" src="https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/applications/sslimageproxy/interface/image.php?url=http://thewindowsclub.thewindowsclubco.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/unblock.jpg"></a>
</p>
<p> When this property is set on a file (usually when a file is downloaded from the internet), you will encounter the following when trying to run it: </p>
<p>
<a href="https://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/tutorials/113486d1289590705-open-file-security-warning-unblock-file-step1-b.jpg" title="Enlarge image" data-fileid="undefined" data-wrappedlink="" data-ipslightbox="" data-ipslightbox-group="undefined"><img alt="113486d1289590705-open-file-security-war" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" src="https://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/tutorials/113486d1289590705-open-file-security-warning-unblock-file-step1-b.jpg"></a>
</p>
<p> For example, say you download a powershell script from Microsoft's script repository (let
say <a href="https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-RemoteProgram-Get-list-de9fd2b4" rel="external nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this one for example.</a>) When you download it, you can verify by right
clicking the file, selecting properties, and looking at the security attribute that the file is blocked. If you try to utilize this script (the example has to be "dot sourced" first, which basically means you type in ".
Path\to\script\script.ps1" into powershell console) without first unblocking the file, the below prompt will appear every time: </p>
<p>
<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" data-fileid="54571" href="https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2017_05/dVDTrgY.png.82254802085f258c2818dee0deefcdf0.png" rel="" data-fullurl="https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2017_05/dVDTrgY.png.82254802085f258c2818dee0deefcdf0.png" data-ipslightbox="" data-ipslightbox-group="g6785"><img alt="dVDTrgY.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="54571" src="https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2017_05/dVDTrgY.thumb.png.41f6c6008618dd3cffe6499ec03a11a8.png"></a>
</p>
<p> Which, if you are trying to automate a process, will kind of get in the way of that. The script I have provided will remove the blocked status from the files which are passed to it in the command line, thus removing the extra
prompt that appears before executing. </p>

<p> But the script would be better if it didn't have any prerequisites or dependencies, so I updated the script with the code you provided. You know it's funny, before I began work on this script, I remember doing research in
order to determine how Windows flagged a file as "blocked" in order to be able to accomplish what you just showed me, but came up nil after about 30 minutes so I gave up and settled on using the prerequisite methods. The
script in the main post has been updated. </p>

<p> Im sorry man. The more you say the more confused I get. What I was probably referring to in regards to not wanting to have any includes is the fact that the first version of this script used powershell if the
version was high enough to contain the "Unblock-file" cmdlet, and if it wasn't, the script would download and use the streams sysinternals tool to delete the alternate streams instead. However, I have since completely
re-written the script so that it no longer requires these external dependencies. As in the script can be run completely standalone. That was the goal, and that has been accomplished. At this point, my interest in
continuing to work on it is non-existent, but you are free to do with it as you like.<img alt=":P" data-emoticon="" height="20"

Wrote a command line utility which will unblock folders and files passed to it
as a parameter. You can pass as many files/folders as you want as a parameter.
If function detects "-r" or "/r" as first parameter, will unblock files
recursively for directories that are passed to it. Will perform following
actions:
1) determine version of powershell installed on computer
2) if powershell version is greater than or equal to 3, will use powershell to
unblock the files. Otherwise, will download "streams.exe" for 32-bit systems
and "streams64.exe" for 64-bits systems from sysinternals live server and
unblock files by deleting the alternate streams on indicated folders.

*Edit 2/3/2017: I updated the code so that, when the powershell method is used,
a path that is under "Program files" or "program files (x86)" does not return an
error.
**EDIT: The script has been re-written so that it is able to accomplish the same
functionality without any prerequisites. Only runs pure AutoIT now. A big
thanks to @argumentum for the idea.

What exactly do you mean by unblock?
Does this take ownership of files and allow you to delete them when owned by
another user or does this literally remove locks on files when held by another
process, such as when scite has a lock on the parent folder of the open script
and does nto allow you to delete it until the process is closed

Hello Sir. No. This script will allow you to eliminate occurrences like these:
When this property is set on a file (usually when a file is downloaded from the
internet), you will encounter the following when trying to run it:
For example, say you download a powershell script from Microsoft's script
repository (let say this one for example.) When you download it, you can verify
by right clicking the file, selecting properties, and looking at the
security attribute that the file is blocked. If you try to utilize this script
(the example has to be "dot sourced" first, which basically means you type in ".
Path\to\script\script.ps1" into powershell console) without first unblocking the
file, the below prompt will appear every time:
Which, if you are trying to automate a process, will kind of get in the way of
that. The script I have provided will remove the blocked status from the files
which are passed to it in the command line, thus removing the extra prompt that
appears before executing.

There's a PS cmdlet that does the same thing without having to download
anything, use Unblock-File -Path <filepath\filename>
If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release
version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help
with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

why not just:
If FileExists($sFile & ":Zone.Identifier") Then
FileClose(FileOpen($sFile & ":Zone.Identifier", 2))
FileWrite($sFile & ":Zone.Identifier", "[ZoneTransfer]" & @CRLF & "ZoneId=0" & @CRLF) ; ZoneId=5 would work too
EndIf
not as clean but it'd solve the problem without the prerequisites.
Thanks for sharing @MattHiggs
Edit: Found a way to delete the stream
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
If FileExists($sFile & ":Zone.Identifier") Then
_WinAPI_DeleteFile($sFile & ":Zone.Identifier:$DATA") ; this will remove the stream
EndIf

But the script would be better if it didn't have any prerequisites or
dependencies, so I updated the script with the code you provided. You know it's
funny, before I began work on this script, I remember doing research in order to
determine how Windows flagged a file as "blocked" in order to be able to
accomplish what you just showed me, but came up nil after about 30 minutes so I
gave up and settled on using the prerequisite methods. The script in the main
post has been updated.

you can always rewrite _WINAPI_DeleteFIle, extracting only what u need.
Basically, that example is just deleting the NTFS Alt Stream.
What is what? What is what.

I am not sure what you mean.... I was under the impression that the NTFS Alt
Stream is the "flag" which indicates that a file came from the internet and is
what "blocks" the file. Therefore, deleting the Alt Stream would unblock the
file, which is the goal. Can you be a bit more detailed in what you mean?
Examples?

Well, you mentioned that you'd prefer not to have any includes. So, just rewrite
the function and pull what is needed from _WinAPI_DeleteFile . Ya know?
And as for Alt Streams...you can store anything in those. Back in the day
viruses could be hidden in them, and could be executed directly.

Im sorry man. The more you say the more confused I get. What I was probably
referring to in regards to not wanting to have any includes is the fact that the
first version of this script used powershell if the version was high enough to
contain the "Unblock-file" cmdlet, and if it wasn't, the script would download
and use the streams sysinternals tool to delete the alternate streams instead.
However, I have since completely re-written the script so that it no longer
requires these external dependencies. As in the script can be run completely
standalone. That was the goal, and that has been accomplished. At this point,
my interest in continuing to work on it is non-existent, but you are free to do
with it as you like.
