Out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the registry key Epoch
:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\SharedAccess\Epoch
My security software is warning me about the creation of this entry when running Python code (from IDE PyCharm) to open a file using Qt class QFileDialog:
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QFrame, QMainWindow, QWidget, QFileDialog
class Window(QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Window, self).__init__(parent)
self.show()
dialog = QFileDialog(self, "Open File")
dialog.setAcceptMode(QFileDialog.AcceptOpen)
dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog.ExistingFile)
dialog.exec_()
def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
_ = Window()
status = app.exec_()
sys.exit(status)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
