The problem can be resolved by telling windows that the files in the folder are to be trusted.
You have to open a command line prompt and issue the command:
ICACLS "CORRECT_PATH" /Setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M
Where CORRECT_PATH
is C:\Users\USER_NAME\Favorites\Verknüpfungen
on my computer (a German version) so its most likely C:\Users\USER_NAME\Favorites\Links
for English ones. Replace "USER_NAME" by your user name. You can find this easily by opening a command line with the cmd
command (type it in the search bar of your start menu) and using:
cd Favorites dir
ICACLS
is the windows program to manipulate the security settings of files and folders. The option /setintegritylevel
manipulates the trust levels. The options mean (OI)
Objects inherit the settings, (CI)
Containers inherit the settings, M
Medium trust.
You can issue ICACLS /?
to get more information.
