The Project Location is not Trusted

This one has been bothering me for several weeks, so I decided to research the problem and finally fix it.
The problem started when I downloaded a project from the web to start working on it. This same project worked previously, the zip was just an update.
Here’s what I found:
You may have already seen the article from Microsoft that says this is caused by trying to access a UNC path from your solution. But my project doesn’t have any UNC paths in it.
Evidently, Microsoft is now adding a security property to any zip files that are downloaded from a security zone that is not trusted and applying that to your project file when the zip file is unzipped.
I eventually got this answer by visiting:

He has a utility to strip the information and a pretty good explanation of what is going on. But the real gem is in the comments where it says that all we have to do is right-click the project file in File Explorer and click the “Unblock” button at the bottom.
Less than five minutes later I had my solution opening cleanly again.
