How to avoid opening alert message when click on hyperlinks?

[Guest]

When I click on hyperlinks (files) in word or excel, it gives an opening
alert message like "The file may contain harmful viruses. Would you like to
open the file?"
I want to avoid this alert message. How to get rid of this?

Have a look at this KB Article for disabling that "some files may contain
viruses" message in Office 2003

Note: involves making a change in the Registry

Good idea to create a Restore Point prior to altering.

Thanks,

Actually my idea is to download series of .csv files through macro. I changed
the settings for .csv files through folder option menu (as given in method
-1 from website referred by you) but it is not working.
I again changed the settings for .xls files through folder option now it is
working. ( for .csv files) Thank you very much .
