I wanted to see 10 motion picture clips which were downloaded from the
internet, the computer has a firewall and an anti-virus program'

An Open File-Security Warning pops up with a choice to Open or Cancel. It
is a nuisance to click Open 10 times.

System: Windows XP Service Pack 2

What is the procedure to disable the Open File-Security Warning
 
Hi Louis,

Right-click the file, select properties. On the general tab, click the
unblock button. All downloaded files will have this warning unless you
physically choose to unblock them. I would not unblock any file unless it
has been thoroughly scanned, especially anything obtained through file
sharing software.
