On my Windows Explorer, Shift+RightClick does not bring “Open Powershell Window Here”.

Yeah, sometimes it doesn’t. You can also Win+R (hold down the WINDOWS key and type R): powershell, then cd into the right directory. Or click the Windows start menu icon, then start typing powershell, and select “Windows Powershell”, then cd into the right directory. Or start your cmd.exe prompt, and type powershell to switch to powershell. But for future reference, if someone instructs you to use a “powershell command” to do something, it will likely not work if you try to run it in cmd.exe instead: they are not the same environment, and use different syntax and have different builtin or default commands available.

OK. Windows Key+R worked and I was able to unblock all files. However, the problem didn’t go away.

Did you try the new copy of Notepad++ from the zip, with a new install of location navigator? If you don’t want to rename your old one, you could instead do the new unzip into c:\tmp-npp or some directory off of your Desktop or something.

If you’re using the Microsoft App Store version, which claims to be unofficial and on v7.5.9 still, I don’t understand how you got the Debug Info you pasted earlier. If you’re not using that version, then I’m not sure why you brought up the App Store at all.

I am not using the App Store version 7.5.9. I downloaded from NPP website. The reason I brought up the App Store just to explain why I was able to unzip and use NPP because the app is available on the APP Store. Corporate Security is not version dependent i.e. as long as “notepad++.exe” is on their approved list, it doesn’t matter if it is 7.5.9 or 7.7.1. This is what I meant. Hope this is clear now.

Given that you said you got it from a zip, and you pasted 7.7.1 debug info, I am assuming you really grabbed the portable/zip from the official download location, and that’s what you’re really using.

Yes.

Yes. Renamed the old directory. Unzipped to the newly created c:\notepad++ and reinstalled LocationNavigate. Still no go.

Notepad++ normaly comes with some default plugins. Do you see any plugin in the Plugins menu at all? Are you able to install other plugins than LocationNavigate?

Yes. Other plugins are there and working. I posted in the Debug Info. Here it is again.

Plugins : CustomizeToolbar.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll NppFTP.dll

would you mind doing a dir /S c:\notepad++\plugins from a command prompt
and post the output?

@Rahul-Jha,

That all looks reasonable

Hmm…

try dir /R/S c:\notepad++\plugins\ … this will see if the “unblock” really got rid of all the “alternate data streams” that it should have…

You might wonder why we’re having so much trouble helping you, and asking you to try what may appear to be random things: it’s because we cannot replicate your results under the situations that you’re describing, and we’re trying to remote-debug your system to help you find what’s gone wrong, when we don’t have direct access to your system.

On one where I’ve got one that isn’t unblocked yet (intentionally so), I see:

 Directory of C:\usr\local\apps\npp.7.7.1.bin.x86\plugins\LocationNavigateA

08/13/2019  11:30 AM    <DIR>          .
08/13/2019  11:30 AM    <DIR>          ..
08/13/2019  01:18 PM           110,592 LocationNavigateA.dll
                                   101 LocationNavigateA.dll:Zone.Identifier:$DATA
               1 File(s)        110,592 bytes

Note the second line under the main DLL listing, with a separate file size, and some colons in the name. :Zone.Identifier:$DATA is the stream where window’s stores that “blocked” status; when you unblock the file, that extra row disappears…

@Rahul-Jha

in C:\notepad++\plugins\Config there no LocationNavigate.ini which makes more or less sense but I wonder whether this might be an issue if it cannot be created.
Can create one with the following content

[Setting]
MaxOffset=100
MaxList=50
AutoClean=0
AlwaysRecord=0
SaveRecord=0
InCurr=0
AutoRecord=1
NeedMark=1
ByBookMark=2

@Rahul-Jha,

Unfortunately, I’m out of ideas regarding that side of things.

I still think there might be a permissions issue, but I don’t know how to go about looking for it. Maybe someone else will have some more ideas.

Maybe @Ekopalypse 's suggestion to create the .ini file will go somewhere if the OP is trying it?

Created LocationNavigate.ini in c:\notepad++\plugins\config as per Ekopalypse’s post. No luck.
