Default Unblock copied file


Hi,

when I unzip a file, in its properties has a botton called unblock: "This
file comes from another computer and may be blocked to help to protect this
computer"
Anyone knows about this feature?

Thanks

Luiz

Yes, lots of people know about it? Did you have a question about it besides
that?

It appears because the file came from another computer. (Or a mapped drive,
online, etc.) It's routine behavior.

Not a problem. It's a pretty normal thing to get the blocked message. It's a
security feature added in SP2 if I recall and it's a pretty good idea. It's
a pain sometimes (more so when you're first getting used to it) but it's
worth it. I should check and see if limited or guest users can select to
unblock a file...
