Powerpoint XP

I have hyperlinked to tif files in the same directory folder as my power
point presentation but whenever you click the link from the presentation, an
annoying message comes up. I have searched everywhere for a solution to
disable the message but can't find any answers??? The message is:

Opening "file path"
Some files contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer.
It is important to be certain that this file is from a trustworthy source.

Would you like to open this file?

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291912 "You receive a
virus warning message when you click hyperlink to a program in
Office 2002 or Office 2000".

Callum,
Annoying isn't it.

You've received two responses steering you to the MSKB fix.

I'll steer you to PPT MVP Chirag Dalal's site. He created a utility so you
don't have to go through all that pain to turn off this warning.

Let's stop there and ask why. "It feels so good when I stop" is a reasonable
answer, I guess. Here's how you can stop:

Insert, Picture, From File and browse to your picture. Instead of clicking the
main OK button in the Insert Picture dialog box, click the arrowhead pointer
thing next to it and choose Link.

You can later use the free FixLinks demo at http://fixlinks.pptools.com to
either set up the links so they work as long as the PPT and the linked files
stay together in the same folder or to embed them if you no longer need the
links.

Not much. I am a MCSE and tried all of the above. In addition I found the
Office 2003 document which has the same instructions as the ones above and
even went into the advanced tab of the file extension and made sure the check
boxes were cleared. Of course I rebooted. Still pops up.

My bad. Follow the instructions and it works.

1. Make the necessary registry change to XP exactly as the Microsoft
knowledgebase article says to.
2. Within PowerPoint 2003, click Tools, Options, Macro Security make it low.
Good bye message . To insert video clip in a powerpoint 2003 slide click on
Slideshow, Action Buttons, the Action Button: Movie icon, Then drag the
crosshairs to form a box wherever you want the icon on your slide, a popup
box appears click on Run Program, Browse, Change Files of Type to All Files
and choose your media clip. Finally click on OK and don't forget to save.
3. Now open Media Player 10 and go to Tools, Options, Performance, Advanced,
and check Enable Full Screen Mode Switch and uncheck Display Full Screen
Controls.
4. Finish making your powerpoint presentation and when play it click on the
video icon on the slide you put it on and as soon as the video clip loads do
a Cntrl + Enter to put it in full screen mode (Esc returns it to regular
mode). Oh and you you need to have it on X2. Have fun. Thanks guys. Peace.
