I want to protect a folder before loading it up onto Google Drive and sharing it. I need a Password to open the folder. I need to prevent the folder from being downloaded or copied off google drive. I need the files inside the folder to be protected from being copied from google drive. Chris: Folder Guard protects the folder s on your computer only, it does not protect them on other computers.
If you need to protect the folders in Google Drive, you should use the security options of Google Drive itself. Good luck! We have done some custom setup to allow windows updates and antivirus updates to install and all is working well.
Please help, i want to ensure that antivirus update is running normal, using Kapersky Internet Antivirus , do you know the dll file s or exe file required for that to work when using Folder Guard?
With this setting, IE10 should prompt you before you download something that might be unsafe, without preventing you from doing it. You'd only set the slider to High if you were visiting sites that you didn't think were safe, but you could try the lower setting as a temporary fix. Are downloads blocked from just one or two websites?
If so, you could add these addresses to the browser's list of Trusted sites. To do this, click the green tick and then the button marked Sites, and paste an address into the box that says "Add this website to the zone". This should stop IE10 from blocking it. Now see if you can download your file. Do some sites always work while others always fail?
If so, it may be the website's fault. IE10 is a very good standards-compliant browser, but some sites are behind the times. The way round this, sadly, is to make IE10 pretend to be an older, inferior version. To do this, go back to the Tools cog and pick "F12 developer tools" from the dropdown menu. This will open a pane at the bottom of the screen.
Click on the words "Browser Mode: IE10" to pull down a menu that provides a list of choices. I mention this because it's sometimes the only way to get a website to work properly, but I don't recommend it. If you think you might have made a mess of IE10's settings in Windows 8, you can always re-set them to the defaults by following Microsoft's instructions.
Readers with older versions of Windows can do this by clicking a single Fixit button Microsoft Fix it Of course, if you can't download a file with IE10, the obvious workaround is to use a different browser, preferably the latest version of Firefox.
It's slightly less secure than Google Chrome because of Chrome's sandboxing, but it is more stable, and in my experience, handles more tabs while consuming fewer resources.
I run it alongside IE10 all the time. If Firefox doesn't download what you want, Mozilla has a trouble-shooting page: What to do if you can't download or save files. When it comes to Norton Internet Security, I am somewhat handicapped by not having a copy. However, I would expect it to block some websites, and the files from those websites. I would not expect it to block a file from an unblocked website unless it reckons the file is bad.
Hi Martin, what happen if i deleted the downloaded file? It simply removes the cached update files but does not impact the system in any other way. It does not remove installed updates. Hope they go away soon… or learn to be polite.
For particularly pernicious cases, I have a script to do all of it. It also clears out catroot: net stop wuauserv net stop bits net stop cryptSvc net stop msiserver. Easier just to rename the SoftwareDistribution file. The OS will rebuild it again on the next reboot. Okay, tech-challenged senior here…am running Win7, do I need to do this?
Is it really something I should try? Or is this for Win10 only? Is this something I even really need? I have very little idea what these comments are even about. There are some exceptions: a if you run into update issues as described in the article, b if you want to clear up space after all updates are installed properly and leftover files are still in the folder.
This works in all recent versions of Windows, not only in Windows Great, thanks, Martin. But thanks again. I had MG! Thank you!!!!! Amazing results: Began with only MB available storage on my C drive before emptying the SoftwareDistribution folder, which contained Win 10 ver repeatedly failing to complete installation over the past month I tried and tried, not enough space. Immediately after: 5. After restarting: 5. Manufacturers are now no longer allowed to pre-install Win 10 on low storage 32 GB devices.
Glad I found this aricle, saved me! I follow the process you shared and it delete the patch but when i click on check for updates under windows update in windows R2 wsus client or any other wsus client all the patch which i deleted came again.
