Hi everyone,

my question is:

How I remove HP Sure Click protection from Folders and a lot files in one task?

I have a great foder with subfolder, in each folder are files. These files are protectet with hp sure click protection.

If I right click on a file i can remove the protection for each file but i must select all files every time in each folder.

Is there a option to remove hp secure click protection for all files an sub-folder with on click?

Hi @Zwible,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To remove HP Sure Click protection from all files and subfolders within a parent folder in one task, you generally need to address it via the HP Sure Click application or use a script. Here’s how you can do it.

Using HP Sure Click Application:

Open HP Sure Click:

• Locate the HP Sure Click application on your system and open it.

Navigate to Protection Settings:

• Go to the settings or management section within the HP Sure Click application. This might be under a “Protection” or “Manage” tab.

Select the Folder:

• Look for an option to remove protection from a specific folder or drive. Some versions of HP Sure Click may allow you to select a folder and remove protection from all files within that folder and its subfolders.

Apply Changes:

• Apply the changes to remove protection from the selected folder.

Using a Script (Advanced):

If the HP Sure Click application doesn’t provide a bulk option, you might need to use a script. Here’s a PowerShell script example for Windows to remove protection, assuming there is a command-line tool or API provided by HP Sure Click:

Open PowerShell as Administrator:

• Search for PowerShell in the Start menu, right-click on it, and select “Run as administrator.”

Run the Script:

Use a script like the following (this is a placeholder and may need modification based on your exact needs and HP Sure Click’s command-line options):

$folderPath = "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder" 

Get-ChildItem -Path $folderPath -Recurse | ForEach-Object {

• # Assuming HP Sure Click has a command to remove protection
• & "C:\Path\To\HP_SureClick_CommandLineTool.exe" --remove-protection "$($_.FullName)" }

Replace "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder" with the path to your folder and "C:\Path\To\HP_SureClick_CommandLineTool.exe" with the actual path to the HP Sure Click command-line tool or executable.

Verify:

• Check if the protection has been removed from all files and subfolders.

Notes:

• Backup Your Data: Before running scripts or making bulk changes, make sure to back up your data to prevent accidental loss.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
