LAN (Internal Network) Security

[Jeff Gardner]

Greetings:

Running XP Pro sp2 with current updates on all machines. Recently,
(after patch Tuesday), a program (.exe file) is launched via shortcut on the
desktop of machine a to a mapped network drive on machine b. When the
program is launched, a Windows security warning comes up to verify that I
want to run this program located on a "foreign" machine. There are no check
boxes to tell it to always allow this action. It's on our LAN, I don't want
to have to see this dialog every time I launch the program. How do I make
it go away? Thanks in advance.

Install the executable on the machine on which you wish to run it.

It's a network based program. It's supposed to be run via network share.
There is a database client and other client software installed locally.
It's on a peer network. It doesn't happen on a domain because all of the
systems "trust" each other.

The issue was caused by tighter security in IE7. I adjusted the Intranet
settings in the security settings in IE and all is now well.
