Prompted to RUN ONCE or SUSPEND when Unrestricted is already set???

Hi Group,

I have an unblocked PS script, all NTFS alternative data streams removed,
execution policy set to "unrestricted", NTFS full control, PS running
elevated, and when I run the script it works without prompting. I copy that
script to the C:\Temp folder, or any other folder, and I get prompted with
"Run Once, Suspend, ..." even though nothing has changed, e.g., blocking,
execution policy, etc. Strangely, the original script is in a subdirectory
of C:\Temp and it works without prompting, but moving it up in the directory
hierarchy causes the prompting and I can't get rid of it.

How can I get rid of the prompting with unblocked scripts and
executionpolicy already set to Unrestricted?

This, plus the issues with logon PS scripts and Group Policy execution of PS
scripts, is quickly pushing PS into the "not worth it anymore" category...

Thank you in advance for any help.

Are you using Vista?

Yes, 32-bit Ultimate version.

I'm not working with Vista and don't have access to one right now, but I
can remember an issue that
users are not allowed to save files on the root drive(s). I may be wrong.

You're not editing this in a temporary unzip location are you? If you
have content that's in a temp folder because it's really in a zip that
you downloaded from the internet -- then when files are extracted from
a blocked zip they are blocked -- that would probably include moving
it, depending on which tool you used and where you moved it too.

unblocked.

Note that I originally created the script in a subdirectory of C:\temp, then
put a copy up into C:\temp and tried to run it there (but got prompted).

haven't tried my local profile folders since I never use them. Note that
these are copies, not moves, if that makes a difference.
Not in a zip.

Thanks

> I get prompted when I put a copy into C:\temp and C:\workfiles, but I Can you, for the sake of testing, try creating another script in the
same location? I'm having trouble imagining what could be causing a
script to do that ... Try something like this, at the prompt (in that
same folder):

'write-host "Hello $args" -fore yellow' > test-helloworld.ps1
..\test-helloworld.ps1 Susan P

That should work, and should write "Hello Susan P" in yellow. f you
can't run test-helloworld.ps1 .. then it's the folder location that's
blocked (and I don't know how, really). If it does work, then try
copying your script this way...

get-content yourscript.ps1 | set-content newscript.ps1

If you can then run newscript.ps1 ... then somehow your OS is
persisting in blocking the file -- and again, I don't know how,
because the only thing I know of that would block it and cause the
"Security Warning" prompt is the alternate data stream "ZoneID", or
being in a location that is considered a "temporary internet files"
location.

> Can you, for the sake of testing, try creating another script in the Got prompted. Double-checked that it was unblocked and that ExecutionPolicy
is still set to Unrestricted too.

Just to make sure, I again used Sysinternals' STREAMS.EXE tool to remove any
NTFS alternative data streams, no luck.

How is a location considered a "temporary Internet files" location? Is
there an IE option or a registry key for that?

Thank you, btw, for your help on this!
