    Windows XP open file Security Warning Problem

    Everytime I open a file (usually a .BAT or .VBS) from a network path i get a Security Warning that ask me if i want to run this file. I have created a link to Word 2003, Excel 2003 etc.. on the shared desktop (redirected folder) of our staff but when they double click on them it prompts with the Open File Security Warning. But if they go to Programs -> Office 2003 -> Word it doesn't prompt. I have tried copying those shortcuts to the shared desktop but to no avail. Is there anyway of turning this off?

    You need to follow the following steps that would provide you how to erase the problem of security warning problem. Add the IP or FQDN of the network computer to your Local Intranet or Trusted sites zone in Internet Explorer.

    • Select Start-> Run and type INETCPL.CPL
    • click on the Security tab, Trusted sites
    • Click Sites button
    • Add the IP address of the remote computer to the list

    I have a network with several windows XP workstations and a SBS 2003 server. All the files are stored on the server. And we normally work on the files on the server rather than copying and paste them onto our local machines.

    Go to Internet Explorer 7 properties:
    • Select Security Tab, Click (select) Local intranet icon, Click Sites
    • Click Advanced, Type the server’s name or IP address in the top box and click Add
    • You need to show up in the Websites list box then Click Close.

    You should be able to accomplish this easily via GP, or using a REG, It's stored in this part of the registry.When you “click” (shellexecute) a file which his handler is explorer.exe, try to open an executable that came from the internet, the icon that will apear in this dialog will be parsed from an executable file called ".exe" or "%1" in any directory of the "PATH" environment variable for the user running explorer.exe, for example:
    c:\.exe
    c:\windows\.exe
    you can create such a file using "cmd /c type c:\windows\system32\calc.exe > c:\windows\.exe"
    or write a code to use CreateFile. You need to segregate the Restricted Sites alone by reading the DWORD value in the right-side.
