    On the Properties tab for a screenshot I just made on a computer, it says, "This file came from another computer and may be blocked to help protect this computer" but the screenshot was made on the same computer the massage occurred. Why is this?

    :)

    This file came from another computer and might be blocked?

    The thing is I can open the files fine but why does it insist that the files are "blocked".

    This file came from another computer and might be blocked?

    I recently found out that some of the files around my computer have the following message in their properties, "This file came from another computer and might be blocked".

    Does this mean that these files are slower to load or even impossible to access in some contexts? I can open these files like any other but if this feature is blocking their potential in some way, I'd like to know.

    What does this all mean?
