 +====== Unblocking Rhino Plug-ins ======
 +
 +If you have problems installing a plug-in, one reason may be because Windows has set a flag on the plug-in file. This means Windows doesn't know where this file came from. This typically happens for files downloaded from the internet or received through email.
 +
 +For security purposes, Windows will not load the plug-in into Rhino unless you unblock the file.
 +  * Close Rhino.
 +  * Right-click on the file and choose **Properties** from the context menu.
 +  * You should see a dialog that looks like the image at the bottom of this page.
 +  * Click the **Unblock** button.
 +  * Right-click on the Rhino shortcut icon. Select **Run as administrator**.
 +  * Load your plug-in.
