I needed a list of my DHCP servers, so I went looking for my DHCPServers.vbs script, which I wrote for that purpose. Gone. I remembered that I posted it on www.myITForm.com, and so I downloaded the script from there http://www.myitforum.com/inc/upload/11431DHCPServers.vbs.txt (right click, then save target as). I went to run my script and I got this:
This data I suspected existed in the NTFS stream for the file. So I downloaded a copy of the Sysinternals file streams.exe from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897440.aspx. When I looked at the streams I found this:
C:\>streams “C:\myprofile\desktop\11431DHCPServers.vbs”
Streams v1.56 – Enumerate alternate NTFS data streams

C:\myprofile\Desktop\11431DHCPServers.vbs:
:Zone.Identifier:$DATA 26
I obviously suspected the zone.identifier, and reran streams with the -d command, which deleted the stream. When I went to open the file, I was no longer asked whether I trust the script that I wrote. I then ran the delete command on my script folder:
streams -s -d z:\scripts
