Windows doesn't just have a flag.

For example:

- If I download this using Chrome: https://aka.ms/getvsdbgps1

- Open a command prompt, cd to my Downloads directory

- Execute this:

    notepad GetVsDbg.ps1:Zone.Identifier
I get:

    [ZoneTransfer]
    ZoneId=3
    HostUrl=https://vsdebugger.blob.core.windows.net/vsdbg-16-0-11220-2/GetVsDbg.ps1
Some files I see also have a ReferrerUrl

I've always thought NTFS streams was a really cool idea- wish MS had kept them in ReFS
Apparently they added it back after the initial release.

Support for alternate data streams was initially not implemented in ReFS. In Windows 8.1 64-bit and Server 2012 R2 the file system reacquired support for alternate data streams, with lengths of up to 128K
