ZoneIDTrimmer

ZoneIDTrimmer is a software that aims to simplify the process of detecting and removing alternative data streams, specifically the Zone.Identifier, which are often stored by Windows in files downloaded from the Internet or email attachments saved on your disk. These streams cause a security warning when the affected files are used, posing a threat to your system's safety.

To help you better understand the issue, the software provides a link to the Microsoft knowledge base article #883260, which explains the Attachment Manager on Windows XP in greater detail.

After installing ZoneIDTrimmer, affected files and folders containing such files will be easily recognizable in Windows Explorer, as they will be marked with an exclamation sign. Additionally, the software adds the "Trim Zone ID" command to the context (right click) menu, allowing you to quickly get rid of the Zone.Identifier stream in selected files or folders and prevent security warnings with just a few clicks.

It's important to note that ZoneIDTrimmer does not change the content of your files, making it a safe and efficient solution to this common Windows issue. Overall, this software is a must-have for those looking to keep their system secure from potential threats caused by unwanted data streams.
