Nope. But batch files can execute powershell scripts and XY can execute batch files...

As stated above, scripting is the way. You can use this utility, just in case:

Em, Marco?
This is about downloaded files not about (stale) open files

Ahah, my bad!
I always use this to unlock the files from the internetz (technically, you purge the ADS),

I personally don't allow ADS for downloaded files by default. Via gpedit or registry tweak.

E.g. in a command prompt:
Code: Select all
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments" /v "SaveZoneInformation" /t REG_DWORD /d "0x00000001" /f
Don't know if this still works in Win10 (that OS sucks), but it should work in Win 7...

To show ADS with XYplorer:
You need the Streams.exe from
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sys ... 97440.aspx
Copy it anywhere you like and adapt the path in the following script.
Use that script for a custom column and it will display the ads data.
I've only tested it with a single file with one ads stream...
No, it will not be ultrafast and I wouldn't use it for folders with a large set of files but at least it (probably) works.
To make it faster you'd need to write an e.g. C++ application that reads ads data from a single file so that no further
parsing in xy is necessary...
Code: Select all
$file = runret("""D:\Streams\streams.exe"" ""<cc_item>""");
$ads = gettoken(regexmatches($file, "^ .*"), 2, ":");
if ($ads) { return readfile("<cc_item>:$ads"); }

hi highend
may i ask you a question ?
is there a way to delete files or folder protected by the operation system ?
for example to delete a folder i had to ..after the w10 update
Code: Select all
takeown /F C:\Windows.old\* /R /A
icacls C:\Windows.old\*.* /T /grant administrators:F
rmdir /S /Q C:\Windows.old\
is there a way to do it with xyplorer ? or is there freeware that can do the same ?
thanks

As long as XY is running with admin rights? Sure, why not. You can execute all these commands with the scripting command "run" (and a following cmd /c together with the command to execute). The necessary thing to watch out for: Correct quoting...
Or by putting them into a .bat file and run that one.
It would be even possible to use a non elevated xy instance and do the elevation via a .vbs file...
