Publisher cannot be verified

[Chester Wilson]

Since changing to IE7, whenever I run a .exe from the server, I may get
a cute box stating "the publisher could not be verified". I cannot find
where
to turn this off, and it is affecting a lot of programmes (not all, to my
interest,
but I can't tell which will be nor which won't be!). I can get around it by
setting up .bat files containing "start \\server\whatever\mugwump.exe" but
this gets tedious. Playing with IE7 settings and data execution prevention
does nothing.

On the net I find numerous ideas for files which were downloaded, and
have this problem. These files were never downloaded via a browser:
they just exist on other machines.

gpedit.msc does not seem to have an entry for this, but I could have
missed it.

IE7 seems to have a blanket setting for downloaded files, but this
does not help, and cannot be set for individual files.

I tried alt.os.windows-xp, but nobody there could help.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Frank: I'll give them a try.
