| "Windows has blocked access to these files to protect your computer" updates. I cannot extract files from a .ZIP archive, because it's blocked. I went into the properties of the file, and checked "unblock", but that did not help, and now if I go back into the properties the "unblock" is no longer there. I'm sure this is some security feature of one of the updates - is there a way around it? |

Are you certain that is not being caused by some third-party software ?

I agree with Roger, I do not recall a "block\unblock" option with Zip files. Sounds like a third party firewall or security suite. -- Louis Vitiello Jr. ------------------------------ MCSE, MCSA, MCP, A+/N+ ERCP XP Pro / Net Concepts "Roger Abell [MVP]" <mvpNoSpam@asu.edu> wrote in message news:ue%232wA3lGHA.4268@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Are you certain that is not being caused by some third-party software ? > > > "Steele" <ksteele@summitnetworking.net> wrote in message > news:O$XH$wtlGHA.3732@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >>I have a Windows 2003 terminal server, with all of the latest patches and >>updates.
