HI Jim,

I consider myself better with windows & PCs than the man on the street, but
"block" and "unblock" in the right click choice is news to me. Unsuccessful
with a Google, I thought i'd come back here and ask if you could provide a
description of what it's about and why? Or a link, or maybe I'll just be
lucky and pick up someting from you for a better search term/s.
I've never noticed an "unblock" in the context menu before; what kind of
programs might use it? And is it there by default? XP SP3+ being used here
so if it's native, I should have it available.

Regards,

Twayne`

Download a file. Then right click on it. Select properties, Lower right hand
corner of general tab is 'unblock'.

How about much better security as compared to Windows XP?

That is reason enough for me!
