Hyperlink to a movie popup message

[farley5959]

I am using Powerpoint 2007 and save my presentations to be compatible
with 2003. I have video inserted into slides but I also use hyperlinks
to link some slide titles to video clips. My problem is that when I
click on a hyperlink I get a popup warning.
"Opening C:\Users\Farley\'movietitle.mov
Some files can 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?"
This is obviously a nuisance when presenting. Can this be avoided in
anyway?

Thanks,

I do believe that this is computer specific, and is done through the control
panel and not recommended

You can use Chirag Dalal's utility to turn off this message.

As Michael says, it's computer-specific, so if you show the presentation on
a different computer, you'd have to install the utility there, too.

You could also mark the folder with the video as a Trusted Location (Options

Trust Centre > Trust Centre Settings and make sure you save the

presentation before testing.

Again this will only work on your PC
