Security warning message

[JohnB]

I created a shortcut to a executable on a mapped network drive. And I get
the open file security message when I open it. It states that "The
publisher could not be
verified, etc....

I Googled this and found the page below.
Tried both settings in IE;
Include all network paths (UNCs)
And add the server to trusted local sites.
Neither works. Still get the error message.

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/networkfile.htm

There is no check box on the warning that will let me allow this action in
the future. In place of that is a message saying "this file does not have a
valid digital signature".

This is a business application that's already being used by most other
computers in the company, and they don't get this message. The shortcut is
on a new PC, Windows XP Pro.

Is there any other way to get rid of this message?

Thanks

Try that:

- Run gpedit.msc
- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components >
Attachment Manager > Inclusion list for moderate risk file types >
Properties > Enable (and set the *.exe in edit box)

That makes for a not very secure situation - allowing all exe files. What's
odd is, other computers don't get this message with that shortcut, and they
aren't set to allow all exe files.
