Can you add tweak that will disable "Mark of the Web"

Windows Utility

Hello Chris,

When I install a new Windows 11, I have that annoying pop-up notification when opening photos that were downloaded from Internet or even viewing some old photos I have on the disk using Photo app in Windows.

It is basically related to this file attribute:

I always have to disable it but I don’t remember where it is, so I always have to Google it. It would be good to have it in the tweaks in the Windows Utility app.

Here is AI summary hot to disable it:

To disable the “Mark of the Web” security warning permanently for all future downloads, you must modify your Windows Attachment Manager settings.

Method 1: Use Group Policy (Windows Pro/Enterprise)

  1. Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.
  2. Navigate to: User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager.
  3. Double-click “Do not preserve zone information in file attachments”.
  4. Select Enabled, click Apply, and click OK.

Method 2: Use the Registry Editor (Windows Home)

  1. Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
  2. Paste this path into the top address bar and press Enter:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments
    (If the Attachments folder does not exist, right-click Policies, select New > Key, and name it Attachments).
  3. Right-click inside the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it SaveZoneInformation.
  4. Double-click SaveZoneInformation, change its value data to 1, and click OK.
  5. Restart your computer to apply the changes.

Thanks
Tomas

Discord: reverieviee: Hey, some things tend get lost in the forum/support so I’d recommend also placing this under GitHub discussions. I’ll also have a look at the tweak when I have time.
