Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Vista integrity levels shell extension

Thanks!!
A nice step forward there.  It doesn't though let me set the integrity level to high whereas I can do with chml.exe from an ELEVATED command prompt.  I suspect you need some way to launch chml.exe with elevated privileges since Vista strips the requisite rights off an admin's token.
The only other thing is it would be nice to have the option when ticking the "inherit" box to optionally tick a 2nd box to recursively set the integrity levels on existing subfolders and files to match the folder being currently edited.  ie Rather like the NTFS Permissions option to "replace permissions on all child objects with ones defined here".  Maybe this would be too much extra work.
Thanks again for this.

Best wishes,

Andrew

NB: The IntegrityLevel context menu entry is not appearing for .URL files.  (My Favorites menu is misbehaving and I'm suspecting integrity levels to be the cause as the Favorites folder has a Low level set on it.)

Wow that was amazingly fast, thanks!!

I ensured I ran the executable in an elevated fashion (since Vista's shield symbol was not on the EXE's icon) to ensure all would be well.
The Integrity Level context menu entry appears fine for files but is absent for folders.
When I try and alter an integrity level, it doesn't seem to set it, as if I open the dialog again the setting has reverted.  My account does have the User Privilege that apparently is required to do this (maybe that is something that the app could add if required - perhaps dynamically?) and indeed I can set privilege levels from the command line using chml.exe.
When setting levels on a folder, it would be helpful to have a checkbox as to whether this setting should be inheritable to child objects or not as that functionality is provided by chml.  I presume that setting the inherit flag won't propagate to existing child objects - perhaps a checkbox to do this?

Thanks again for this!

Best wishes,

Andrew

Hi!

A really useful little app would be a shell-extension that lets you view and change Vista's new integrity levels feature on files and folders.  Here's a command line version:

A GUI shell-extension would be so useful!  I'm afraid I've no idea whether this would be a coding snack or a coding banquet to do though...
Even just the ability to view them through a shell-extension would be useful.

Best wishes,

Andrew
