Windows 7 local shortcuts "do you want to open this file" warning

Windows 7 local shortcuts "do you want to open this file" warning:



'via Blog this'



Ok this has annoyed the ever-living daylights out of me for a while. I have my favorites as a quick-launch from the start menu (as they appear everywhere- it is a fast path location to my projects, files, etc.)



But I would get this annoying message "These files may be harmful" every time I launched Chrome or anything else from there.



So I found the above link and came up with this:



ICACLS "C:\Users\%username%\favorites"
/Setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M

Which resets the discretionary access control list for that folder/subfolder. Keep in mind this may be a place for viruses to hide or malicious shortcuts, but virus scanners take care of that for the most part (nothing is allowed to create any shortcuts, downloads, etc. without having to ask)

So now to script right clicking my next project to add the shortcuts to where I want to go!

Revit area plans adding new types and references (Gross and rentable)

Image
Note to self: Add additional (duplicate) gross area and net area schemed under Area Plans And Area schemes... Really counter-intuitive place to put this instead of say...  Area Plans> New Type> Edit Type (ADD) or Create an area plan, then Go to Properties, Edit Type and Duplicate... Always seem to forget this one! 2015-10-16-And for the calculation type... To update: this also applies to Revit as well as LT- The gross calculations cannot be overridden, however the 'rentable' comes in various flavors... From AD Revit help: Applies to Revit LT 2015 Rules are determined by one type of space bordering another space. The following table shows area measurement rules. To find the appropriate measurement rule, find the selected Area Type and the corresponding Bordering Area Type.
