Open File-Security Warning

[Fred Roven]

This message on opening a network EXE is driving me crazy. One workstation
has XP with IE7. I have tried every regisitry edit, security edit, open
edit etc. I could find available and still no luck. I have seen hundreds of
posts about this. Anyone have something new to try?
Thanks

The machine from which the exe originated is not recognized
as in the local intranet zone, or the local intranet zone has had
its security settings changed from their defaults.
The behavior troubling you is controlled by the settings you
can find in the Security tab within the Internet Option in the
Tools dropmenu within IE.

Hi Fred, maybe this will help. I had the same trouble and finally realized I
had to use the following syntax for the launch properties of the shortcut:

"\\servername\path\program.exe" rather than "drivealias:\path\program.exe".

You can leave the IE7 security settings alone . Regards, Marg
