Color coding for ADS
Posted: 2013 Dec 12, 03:55
Is there a way to use color coding to indicate files with a specific alternative data stream?
Files with a Zone.Identifier ADS seem to trigger a security mechanism in Windows and must be Unblocked via their Properties tab. For instance, when I download a WordPress theme zip file, I have to Unblock it before unzipping; otherwise every file in the zip has the ADS too. It's really only an issue when copying the file to another NTFS drive but I'd prefer to handle it pre-emptively.
