File Security on Windows 10

I'm finding to file security on Windows 10 unbearable. I am unable to write to Program Files or Program Files32. How do you turn it off? How does one turn the UAF off?

File associations in Windows 8.1 for applications on a network location

Hi,
From Windows 7 to Windows 8 it has been done alot of changes regarding file file assocations. It seem that the main reason was security and was "patched" by having Windows read the hash for the applications instead of where the application was
located.
but there seem to be some major hicups and there is limited info on the web covering these issues.
First issue: when running: Dism /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:\\Server\Share\AppAssoc.xml and then creating a GPO configuration pointing to
thi XML file. With this feature only common file extensions is supported and when users are changing to another computer, these settings is not possible to syncronize using roaming profiles.
Second issue: In the appassoc.xml file applications must be either appid(metro app) or common application on local harddrive to be registered and not a .EXE
file on a network location.
It seems a little strange if this is the case and if there is no other options for administratos to set file associations in more flexible ways. Does anyone have some more info on
this topic other than these link:

https://keithga.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/file-associations-in-windows-8/

Hi Primeid,
You could use Group policy for file associations or you could deploy the xml file during image deployment. However as you mentioned that the file associations only applies to common application on local hard drive or metro app.

We understand your confusion about this, but we hope you understand that using network location for file association deployment is highly insecure and it is out of our recommendation since the content in that network location could be changed without any
notification or permissions constraint.
Thanks for your understanding.

Open File - Security Warning with Network-based Silent Install of CS4

I am attempting to run an enterprise deployment of CS4 Design Standard Edition onto a pool of WinXP Pro workstations. I placed all of the install files on a networked server running Windows 2003, and generated from there all of the requisite .xml files (install, uninstall, and override files). From this network share, I can successfully run a silent install.
HOWEVER. Multiple times (two or three) during the course of the silent install, I receive the same pop-up security warning from Windows XP (definitely an OS message, not anti-virus or other) that reads as follows:
Open File - Security Warning
Do you want to run this file?
Name: AIRApplicationRunner.exe
Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
Type: Application
From: (server IP address)
I have tried excluding Adobe Air from the installation package, but I still receive the same security prompt. This is sufficiently a hassle to have to click through these prompts in a silent install. But more importantly I am unable to run the silent install as part of a logoff script because for all intents & purposes it is no longer a silent install (i.e. it requires user intervention). To top it off, I found when testing the logoff script the prompts are suppressed and the installation fails prior to the bulk of the installation (Photoshop, Illustrator, & InDesign).
I'm sure that I could run the install by copying all of the files to each local workstation, but again that would defeat the purpose of an easy, network-based install. In the past I was able to install CS3 in this fashion with no troubles, which of course did not include Adobe Air.
Can anybody offer a suggestion as to how to disable these security messages, or alternately, how to entirely exclude Adobe Air from the install package? I have found a VB script that is supposed to address the security warnings issue, but to run the script also requires the user to accept it at a security prompt.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
-Dan

I'm now able to deploy design suite premium cs4 successfully.
The issue for me was that the AirapplicationRunner installs some useless software. I worked around the issue with the Airapplicationrunner prompt by removing any apps that are installed using that method. By "removing" I mean marking that app as "donotinstall" in the deployment file. The apps I removed are these adobe codes for adobe media player, adobe.com, adobeair itself. The below is from my deploy.xml file used for the silent workflow:
donotinstall
donotinstall
donotinstall
If you mark those three adobe codes as "donotinstall" the prompt never appears and the real apps get installed just fine.

Disable "Open File Security Warning"

Hi whenever I try to open a file from the local hardrive I get the "Open File Security Warning" asking me whether I want to open the file or not. This is getting rather annoying. I searched online but everything I found seems to be dealing with network shares and I am not using that. Just a file on the local hard drive in the computer I am using to the right of me. I remember in my last install I turned it off somehow, but for the life of me I can't figure out how I did it. Anybody have any ideas? Or is this here to stay?

Windows 7 - Launching unsafe files is in this path;
IE -> Internet Options -> Security tab -> Custome Level -> Scroll down in Settings -> Look for radio button "Launching applications and unsafe files (not secure)".
Don't know if it solves the problem or not but option is there.
Great, on Windows 8 x64 this is an option I can find and set.
It will generate a nasty warning in the system tray. And does not solve the problem:
I have downloaded a warez archive and extracted it. The resulting .exe file is a wrapped program which will extract everything to my choosings. I've used it before.
When I try to run the program, all I get is:
Windows Security
These files can't be opened
Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened.

I do not use IE, I use chrome. What is this strange behaviour?? :(

Sharing files between a Windows Vista Business edition and a Mac osx 10.6.6

Is there reliable information somewhere about how to share files from a Windows Vista business edition pc to a Mac osx 10.6.6? I have googled instructions and followed the steps and still could not have sharing to happen between the Vista pc and the Mac. These are the steps I have performed, I have made sure that
o Both the Vista pc and the Mac have the same user account/password.
o The firewall from the Vista side allows file and printer sharing in the exceptions.
o Enabled sharing with a few directories on the Vista pc.
o Changed the security policy on the Vista pc to "LM and NTLM - use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".
o On the Mac System Preferences > Sharing selected File sharing.
On the Windows Vista pc, if I click the Start menu and then Network, the Mac does not appear. On the Mac, from the Finder menu if I click Go > Connect to server and request a connection to the IP address of that Vista pc, I get an error, "Connection Failed" (could not find pc or not available at this time).
What else do I need?

That was a great tutorial / walk through.
In fact, I would say that was far easier than the entrophy route (which is good) as you can see exactly what you are doing rather than relying on an installer which has often failed in the past for me, and then just suddenly worked for no apparent reason!
Just two things to improve it for other users, and they are really VERY minor... From previous experience, I knew where to find the php.ini.default file, but you don't let people know where to find that, and the links to the MySQL downloads were broken. I guess that is because the file names have changed or because I am coming at it from a different country. I got a message stating: 'That file does not exist on our download mirrors.'
Thanks for doing that, I really appreciate you (and the likes of David Powers) taking the time to set these tutorials up for others to use.

Folder/File Decryption in Windows 8.1

Hello,
I have a folder with some files in it, and two sub-directories also with files in them, that I encrypted some time ago, but after I've been updated to Windows 8.1.
Suddenly, even though there is only one account on this computer (administrator), it will not allow me to decrypt the folder (and/or subfolders or individual files). When I Right-Click->Properties->Advanced...->UNCHECK Encrypt Contents to secure
data-> OK->Apply, first I get a 'Access Denied' 'You will need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes. Click Continue to complete this operation.' Click Continue and get: 'An error occurred applying attributes to the file: C:\Blah.jpg
Access is Denied' and then the option to Ignore/Try Again (Same Result)/Cancel.
The only thing I can think is, randomly about a month ago, my password stopped working to sign in on my computer (strange right?). I then had to reset it online in order to get back into my computer. I haven't needed these files since before then. Could
the fact that I encrypted them with a different original password matter here?
Here's what I've tried:
Verified that under Security All users have full access (there is only me after all).
Clicked on 'Advanced'
Checked all permissions for full access.
Added HomeUsers to that folder with full access.
Added Everyone in the Share Tab.
Added my username to the Audit tab.
Added my username to the Effective User tab.
Everything says I have full control..in fact ANYONE on this computer has full control..yet all I get upon opening is 'Access Denied. You do not have permissions to view this file'.
Any thoughts?
V/R,
Larry

Larry,
The reason that you’re receiving the “Access Denied” error is because your system is unable to find the encryption key and related certificate that were used to originally encrypt the files.
The
Recover encrypted files or folders webpage states:
“You can lose access to encrypted files if you install a new operating system or upgrade your current one, or if your current operating system fails.”You must have a backup copy of your encryption key and related certificate on a disc or other
removable media (such as a USB flash drive)
If you were able to back up your encryption key and certificate before upgrading to Windows 8.1, follow these steps to regain access:
Right-click on the start button and select Run.You must have a backup copy of your encryption key and related certificate on a disc or other removable media (such as a USB flash drive) to
follow the steps below.
Type in certmgr.msc and press Enter.
In the left pane, click Personal.
Click the Action menu, point to All Tasks, and then click
Import. This opens the Certificate Import wizard.
Click Next.
Type the location of the file that contains the certificate, or click
Browse and navigate to the file's location, click Open, and then click
Next.
If you have navigated to the right location but don't see the certificate you are importing, then, in the list next to the
File name box, click Personal Information Exchange.
Type the password, select the Mark this key as exportable check box, and then click
Next.
Click Place all certificates in the following store, confirm that the
Personal store is indicated, click Next, and then click
Finish.
Note: Do not enable strong private key protection.
After you import the certificate, you should have access to the encrypted files.

Cant install itunes (file security error) PLEASE HELP

I uninstalled itunes because i could not update it. now when i try to install it it comes up with this
"error getting file security: C:\programdata\Apple\Apple Application Support\kdrl\GetLastError:5"
Can you please help me.
Thanks

Delete the folder C:\ProgramData\Apple\Apple Application Support then try again.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Oracle 11g on Unix server needs to write files (.csv) on Windows server

Hi,
Currently we are using Oracle 10g which is installed on a Unix server and on the same server there is a directory under which some files are being exported/downloaded by the db.
We are having DEDICATED DB INSTANCE on the SHARED server, and not a DEDICATED SERVER.
Now we need to migrate from Oracle 10g to 11g, but due to some complaince issue, we have been asked to create those directories on some other server. We have identified a Windows server and can create directories.
Now I request any expert to pls suggest/guide me that how can the db (on Unix server) export/write files on another Windows server?
I read in a thread that the server (where files should be exported) should be MOUNTED on the server where db is physically installed.
Pls help me here.....

Or if network connectivity to the remote server fails? Or if there is severe network congestion between the Oracle server and remote server? What then?
How is the process on the local server suppose to deal with errors when it attempts to create a CSV file on the remote server? Or deal with network bottlenecks that results in severe performance degradation when trying to create a CSV file? Or if there lacks freespace for creating the CSV file?
What about security? How is the local Oracle server to authenticate itself with the remote server? How is the remote server to protect that directory share against unauthorised access?
How is this remote server going to provide access to authorised s/w to these CSV files?
Who (local or remote processes) is going to manage this directory share and ensure old CSV files are deleted and that there is sufficient freespace for new CSV files?
There are a LOT of questions that need to be asked... BEFORE deciding on HOW technically to do it. As the technical decision will be based on the functional requirements and how to best meet these.
Technically - there is Samba, NFS, FTP, SFTP, SCP, RDIST and a number of other methods that can be used. But without asking the above questions and getting proper business answers, selecting a specific technical method is very much premature.
You are asking the wrong questions, and in the wrong forum. You need to determine the business requirements first.

OS 10.7, SMB Connection, Change to Unicode with Extended Security on Windows Server 2008 Standard

Hi All, I've searched Google, and I've also contacted Apple Support with no luck: I want to implement unicode with extended security on Windows Server 2008 Standard server shared folders so that Lion can connect normally (i.e. Finder->Go->Connect to Server->IP Address or server name) to SMB shares and access files. I'm lacking information; has anyone actually implemented unicode with extended security? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Thanks for the reply aorlich. Do you mean enable file sharing on my Mac? With file sharing enabled, I still cannot get to my Windows 7 shares, although the files on my Mac do become available to Windows. Thanks again.

Encrypted document using Apple File Security won't open

Back in 2000 I was using an iMac G3 with OS 9. I created a MS word document with MS 2000 and encrypted it using the Apple File Security. Since then I have upgraded to an iMac G5 with OS 10.4 and OS 9 for older applications.
Since this is a legal document, I now need to decrypt it and I am not sure if I used a password to encrypt this document. I have opened up the key chain in OS 9 and, I don't see any saved passwords. I have opened up MS Word and don't see anything about a password for this application. When I open up the encrypted document it shows it to be over 300 pages, and when I select "Get Info" it shows that this document is unlocked, but I see on the desktop the document with a yellow key symbol.
Is this a locked document? Why does it ask me for a password when I don't see any password in the key chain? What does the yellow key symbol mean?
I really need to decrypt this document and their are a lot of programs that will decrypt a word document but you have to be running Windows and not OS X or 9.
Can any one give me any suggestions on how I can decrypt this word document that was encrypted with Apple File Security.
Thanks,
DaisyMay

Open Apple File Security and use it to decompress or decrypt the file. Any item can be encrypted with Apple File Security, and no other application will decrypt that format; the mechanism isn't the same as used in some Word versions. The Locked setting in the Get Info window controls something else. A password doesn't need to be stored in the keychain to be applied to an encrypted item; the file itself stores the encrypted password.

ITunes 9 installation error "Error getting file security"

Every time I try to install iTunes 9, I get this error:
Error getting file security: C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\QuickTime 7.62.14.0\GetLastError: 5
Any ideas? I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

itunes installs quicktime. The trouble is with the security settings in the folder in C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache.
On both the Apple Computer folder and the Installer Cache, you will need to take ownership. Then delete the quicktime folder.
First, to see the folder, in explorer go to Organize, folder options, then view tab. There click the radio button see hidden files and unclick hide protected system files.
Then navigate over to the folder location above.
Right click on the folders, click on properties, then security.
There at the bottom, click on advanced. Then click on the owner tab. There you can change the owner to the user that you logged on as.
That should fix it. Remember to delete the quicktime folder after to take ownership.

Flash Vulnerability used to break security on Windows Vista

Found an article on The Register about a previously unknown
flash vulnerability being used to break security on Windows Vista
during a hacking contest. The original link to the article was on
Wired's
Blog
quote:
"Shane Macaulay, who played a hand bringing down a Mac during
last year's Pwn2Own contest, defeated the Vista machine using a
previously unknown vulnerability in Adobe Flash. On final day of
the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver, Macaulay spent the better
part of four hours trying to get the exploit to work."
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03/29/ubuntu_left_standing/
Can anyone verify the exploit that is being referred to in
this article or whether Adobe is aware of it?

Hi candy, glad that you found that Shockwave Flash Object, it works with the Flash files and is very important
The NPSWF files that you said are not there, those are for the Firefox browser or Chrome or some other browser. If you use Firefox and want the Flash Player for that, then close all of your browsers so you are only looking at your Desktop.
Click on this Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop. Then RUN it from your Desktop, and after it is finished Installing, Restart your computer.
Then Using Firefox go to the plug-ins and find a SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is Enabled. This is just like the Shockwave Flash Object for Internet Explorer, but it is the one that works with Firefox.
Let me know if that is what you wanted to do. If you don't use Firefox, but Chrome or another browser, then this will work for that one also.
If you don't use another browser, then don't do any of this. I just thot maybe you did and that is why you were concerned that the NPSWF files were not there.
Thanks,

Script open IE, press "okay" on cert selection, "open" file, close IE window

Im trying to create a script to Open an internet explorer window to a link, which i've worked out. But then i need it to click "OKAY" when a windows security certificate pops
up, then click "open" when it asks to download the file (link points to a file, rather than a page), and then close the IE instance that it had just opened. Im unsure if the "open" with the file download works, as i cannot get past the
cert slection beforehand.
Open IE link:
$IE = New-Object -comObject InternetExplorer.Application.1 ; $IE.visible = $True
$IE.Navigate("https://website.com/file.exe")
I've also found this code that will press okay for the certificate selection if i know the button ID, but i can't seem to find the button ID for the cert selection window:
while ($IE.busy) {
sleep -milliseconds 50
sleep -milliseconds 500
$doc = $IE.document
sleep -milliseconds 500
$btn = $doc.getElementByID("button ID you can see in the source of the page")
$btn.Click()
Click "open" on the file download:
Select-Window iexplore | Select-Control -Class "Frame Notification Bar" | Send-Keys "%S"
Close IE window. This currently closes all IE instances, is there a way to just close the one it had opened to begin with?
Get-Process iexplore | Foreach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() }

Close IE window. This currently closes all IE instances, is there a way to just close the one it had opened to begin with?
Get-Process iexplore | Foreach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() }
$IE.Quit() will do that.

Open File - Security Warning box appears for several app on the desktop [solved]

Hello,
After googling around, I found why I get this warning, how it happens, how to manually fix it but I don't know how to prevent it.
I got this warning when desktop integrity level drop to "low".
Desktop integrity drop to "low" when launching IE (V9) with no network connection and the favorites folder has been redirected to a file server. If the favorites folder is not redirected, desktop integrity level remains the same.
To fix it :
icacls %\username%\desktop /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M
But how can I prevent Windows (IE ?) from changing desktop integrity level ? I add the unc path of the file server hosting the favorites folders to the intranet zone to no avail.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Thanks for your reply.
You never met this message, did you set folder redirection for your users ? Here you can find other people having this message
http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=open+file+security+warning+desktop+integrity+level
I don't think process monitor or explorer will help because I already know the culprit : IE. If you read my message again, I need to tell IE : if the favorites folder is not accessible, don't modify my local desktop folder integrity level.
Regards
Chris
