Automatically Open a file with .URL extention?

[Jonathan Lecht]

We have a link on our web site which downloads an Internet Shortcut link
(Notesplus.url) to run. Inside the shortcut is the call to execute the Notes
client and the working directory.

URL=Notes://
WorkingDir=\Notes\data

Unfortunately since the Internet Shortcut has a file name with the .url
extention, the pc's are ignoring the security settings to avoid the Open or
Save dialog box and prompt anyway, or in fact the 1st prompt is bypassed and
the 2nd prompt still comes up.

Is there a method to remove the Open or Save dialong box when launching a
file with a .url extention?

Hi Jonathan,

You could try the UnSafeFiles settings for IE

Here's a freeware utility

You will need VB6 runtimes.
