Need to restart TC after unblocking file

Post by *jonathanpoulin »

Hi,

I found that I need to restart Total Commander after unblocking a file using the file Properties window. Otherwise, the Properties window still show the checkbox. It does not happen if I do the same thing from Windows Explorer. I am talking about the flag stored in the NTFS ADS (Alternate Data Streams). By example, this is set whenever we download a file from the Internet. Is there a way I can avoid having to restart TC to get rid of the checkbox in Properties?
Thanks,
Jonathan Poulin

Not confirmed when using 2 Windows 10 virtual machines.

Confirmed with Windows 11 24H2. But the same thing happens with Explorer. And the same happens when using Powershell and doing this 2 times:

Code: Select all

$shell = New-Object -COMObject Shell.Application
$shell.NameSpace("<folder>").ParseName("<filename>").InvokeVerb("Properties")

The properties dialog is provided by Windows, so there is no way for me to fix this, sorry.

I am on Windows 11 24H2 as well. I did the test again using Explorer. You are right, this happens also in that case. I am pretty sure it was not like that before, using Explorer, as I tested it. So, maybe a recent Windows update broke it.
