Hi Gregg,
Let me recap what your registry _should_ look like now: On the left side of the
regedit window, you should be able to click on the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Security
(where you created the Security subkey yourself). When that's selected, the
right side of the regedit window should contain an item named (Default), type
REG_SZ, with the data value (value not set); and an item named
DisableHyperlinkWarning, type DWORD, with a data value of 0x00000001 (1).
Double-check the exact spelling of the key name and the value name, and the
value. If any of them aren't _exactly_ as described, edit them -- the spelling
is critical! (Capitalization does not count, though.)
When you're satisfied, close regedit and reboot. (The reboot may not be
necessary, but it tends to flush any cached values and other crud.) Then test
your hyperlinks again.
It should not be necessary to do anything with the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common because (as the
article says) changing one of the two keys is enough. You should also not need
to change any of the keys in Method 1 or Method 2 of the article, because the
document types you're getting messages for aren't the kind (such as TIF) that
should need it.
