  • I was thinking it could be ADS but i doubt it. I'm looking into it. I think its ACL but thats kind of ridiculous. -edit- Nope it isn't ADS :x

  • @acidzombie24 At first I was thinking it might be some permissions or file properties, but I have all that, and have never seen this particular request. Also many other questions on it came up with zero answers, so I just assumed it was some super hidden stuff.

    Actually it is but they are all 0byte streams... -edit- I thought this app shows all files twice. It turns out all the files had 0 byte ADS. It can scan subdirs and luckily it didnt have many files. I saw ALL files had 0byte ADS so... yeah nothing in there and just weird. Now i moved them and... dont care.

    IIRC, ADS is used for EFS, and moving EFS encrypted files to FAT32 will make them unreadable forever.
