$Object_ID

Post by jimspoon »

Is there an Everything Property or Windows Property System property that contains the $Object_ID NTFS file attribute? I can create it using "fsutil objectid create", and see it using "fsutil objectid query". (Along with BirthVolume ID, BirthObjectID ID, and Domain ID.) It might be useful to find files that have or don't have an ObjectID, because it seems to survive renames and moves (even when moved to other volumes?), and is used to find a file referenced by a LNK file even after it is moved. Oddly enough, I used "fsutil objectid query" to query some LNK target files, and I was surprised to find that some LNK target files don't have ObjectIDs. So it seems that even though a LNK shortcut is made to a file, that file isn't necessarily going to get an ObjectID with which it can be tracked.

I will add properties to show Object ID, BirthVolume ID, BirthObjectId ID and Domain ID for the next alpha update and report back.

There's no Windows Property System property that shows this information.

Thank you for the suggestions.
