Reg file to batch remove BLOCK from files /Folder

reddwarf4ever · 16 Jan 2017

Hi I found this, which I added to the registry but the right click option to unblock files / folders hasnt appeared

any help please

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\unblockfile]@=”Unblock file”[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\unblockfile\command]@=”cmd /c streams -d \”%1\””[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblockallthefiles]@=”Unblock the files inside”[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblockallthefiles\command]@=”cmd /c streams.exe -d -s \”%1\””

Hi,

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\unblockfile]
@="Unblock file"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\unblockfile\command]
@="cmd /c streams -d \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblockallthefiles]
@="Unblock the files inside"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblockallthefiles\command]
@="cmd /c streams.exe -d -s \"%1\""

This ought to do the trick but make sure to DL from Sysinternals and copy "Streams.exe to %windir%\system32.

Cheers,

No, but it works for me.

Good enough for me.....when I tried it I got a message that the file I was trying to unlock was not associated with the unblock command, or something similar and was not available for folders

Hi,

Are you sure you saved the file as a .reg file ?

It works just fine for me.
