Hi,
After downloading streams.zip, I suggest you put the Streams.exe that
is inside streams.zip in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. This way
Streams.exe is in the exe path so you don't need to think about
specifying the path to Streams.exe when you want to use it.
Now, when you want to clean out all the streams in files in a folder
inclusive subfolders, do the following:
Open a command prompt (Start/Run --> cmd.exe)
At the command prompt, type
"streams.exe -s -d "
without the quotes (note the trailing space!).
Then open an Explorer window (place the window so it doesn't cover the
command prompt completely) and in Explorer locate the folder you want
to operate on.
Drag the folder from the Explorer window into the command prompt. This
way the folder path will automatically be "typed" on the command line.
Then click on the command prompt window so it gets focus, and press
Enter to launch the Streams command.
