Right click a ZIP file pops up a warning before the context menu???

[Noozer]

WHY does Windows XP Pro SP2 give me a popup warning when I right click on a
ZIP file on my LAN?

It's an Internet Explorer pop-up stating that "This page has an unspecified
potential security risk." I'm using WINDOWS EXPLORER and not IE to browse my
LAN files.

Any drive that I have mapped to a letter is secure and should be treated as
a local drive.

How do I turn this annoyance off?

Noozer,

I've had the same thing on a user's laptop - it was driving me nuts.

It's caused by your Internet Security settings - there is a setting to
"automatically" recognize local sites. Uncheck that and make sure all
the other checkboxes are set - it includes "all network paths (UNCs)".
That fixed it for me.
