Always allowing access to contacts for sync software

Hi again,

since I'm here, I figured I'd ask a question about the protection of the
contacts list in Outlook.
The problem is, everytime I synchronize my SonyEricsson P800 with Outlook,
Outlook pops up a warning that an application is trying to access the
contact list and requires me to first check the box for allowing access for
a certain time, to choose a time longer than the default one minute in case
the sync takes longer, and then to click Yes.
It's annoying to have to do this every time I sync instead of just starting
the synchronization and letting it handle business by itself.
I realize that it's a security risk to disable the protection altogether,
but if it can be disabled, I'm willing to do it since I have good
multi-level virus protection already. Of course, it would be good if it
could be disabled on a per-program basis, but I doubt that's possible.

So, is it possible to disable the contacts protection?
 
Might want to check with the sync software mfr. or Sony to see if they have
an updated version that works with the security features in Outlook...many
do. You can't disable what Outlook's doing. There's a freeware program
called "ExpressClickYes" (google it) you can use if you want it to click yes
for you in the background but that's not the route I'd go....it will leave
you vulnerable to any virus that wants to exploit your address book while
it's running, should you contract one.
