How to untrust workspace by default in VSCode?

Workspace trust interrupts the workflow by opening a dialog after open arbitrary directory.

to trust all directory, simply disable workspace trust feature by start vscode with commandline --disable-workspace-trust

But how can I UNTRUST any directory/workspace by default without a intrusive dialog? or even better, store that setting persistently? if I deem it safe I could always trust it afterwards.

a side note, devs had stated this which is interesting:

"usage data showed a very low rate of granting trust through the passive notification. In user studies, we watched people spend all their time thinking they had broken something."

I have set the Restricted Mode as default for files and workspaces using this security configuration:

Security Configuration

You can add the following lines to your settings.json

"security.workspace.trust.banner": "never",
"security.workspace.trust.startupPrompt": "never",
"security.workspace.trust.untrustedFiles": "newWindow",

Or start a new instance of Visual Studio Code and drag & drop a file into this instance. You will receive the following prompt, where you can tick the Remember my decision for all workspaces option.

Remember trust settings as default

This will add the following line in your settings.json:

"security.workspace.trust.untrustedFiles": "newWindow",

Currently I am using Visual Studio Code 1.59.
