I am using streams.exe to remove blocking of game by Windows but it is showing me "Access is denied" error although I am running the command with administrator.

I wanted do the same: mass-deletion of "Zone.Identifier" alternate data streams (ads) that were attached to 95 downloaded PDF files.
The manual way in windows explorer works only file by file by using the Unblock button in Properties dialog, and so would mean 95 times mouse clickery. Not very feasible, so I tried several utilities …
What did not work:
I couldn't find any locks. Even quitting the explorer process and then trying again did not help.
What DID work:
I've no idea why the other tools failed (and I'd still like to know!), but at least this is a solution.
