Unblock the File<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At times, Windows block the file since it considers it harmful and prevents you from accessing it.

In the General tab, you will find this note \u201cThis file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer\u201d.<br \/>\n3.

So, you have to create a new shortcut, which points to the right file location.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. Right-click on a blank space on the desktop or a folder, and click on \u201cNew\u201d.<br \/>\n2. Then, click on \u201cShortcut\u201d.<br \/>\n3. Now, you have to click on \u201cBrowse\u201d and select your desired location to create the new Shortcut.<br \/>\n4. Click on \u201cNext\u201d.<br \/>\n5.
