This question asks how to mark a file as safe (not originated from an internet location). Is there a way to do the opposite? I.e., mark a file as originating from the internet and thus "not safe."

As described in this How-To Geek article, the information used to determine which files are safe or not is stored in the Zone.Identifier ADS (alternate data stream). The text you need to include on there is:

[ZoneTransfer]
ZoneId=3

I'm sure there are plenty of ways of doing so, but one way of editing the ADS is to launch notepad [filename]:Zone.Identifier
