Open File - Security Warning
-
lunes, 14 de mayo de 2007 2:58I have a mapped drive letter to a file server share where I keep many utility scripts (.cmd files).
Whenever I right-click a .cmd file and choose Edit, I'm given an "Open File - Security Warning" dialog.
How can I disable this prompt? I'd like everything on this server to be considered as safe as the things on my local drive.

miércoles, 23 de mayo de 2007 3:17 Thanks... but that wasn't really helpful. I spent hours poking at "Open File Security Warning" Google results before posting here; they were all about XPsp2. Adding the server to the Trusted sites zone is NOT SUFFICIENT in Vista; Vista's default security level for Trusted Sites is Medium (sans Protected Mode).
I did eventually resort to a brute-force approach to find the problem. After adding the server to Trusted sites, edit Security Settings ("Custom level") for the zone, and Enable "Launching applications and unsafe files." (Or just drop your pants and set security to Low for Trusted sites. They are trusted, aren't they?) -
miércoles, 13 de junio de 2007 18:12It´s easy....just go to internet options (on internet explorer) -> Security->Intranet->Press the Sites Button and deactivate the first option and activete the other 3. It´s worked for me....cheers

- Click on Sties
- Click Advanced
- Type the drive letter of your file server where the application is located in the “Add this website to this zone” box.

Hi,
The posted 'fix' by Technology Instructor doesn't work for me. Interestingly it did work for a collegue 2 months previous (and is still working for him). On our Vista and Windows Server 2003 that have been recently upgraded to IE7 we have the same issue running one of our apps via a network shortcut.
I have researched and tried the above fix with no change.
I have considred applying the registry update discussed here http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=3871 but am unsure as to how safe this might be.
I have considered implementing this fix http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-security/16603-how-remove-open-file-security-warning-window.html but am not sure how to implement this across our domain.
Am sure a Microsoft member can provide worthwhile information to removing this annoying impass.

This solution worked for me! We have a drive mapped to H. I added just simply H and H:\ which redirected to the actual path and it was fine after that. No more security warning.

The 12-step solution worked for me even when I added the UNC instead of the mapped drive letter.

lunes, 03 de noviembre de 2008 14:21That worked for me too. WindowsXP sp2. It also fixed some of the generic errors that I was getting in different programs that run from my server. Thanks for sharing.

This solution did not work
Windows Server 2003 R2 fully patched running as Terminal Server
I mapped a drive and was getting permission error when accessing file. I shut-off windows security and then right clicked file and copy and then copy shortcut to desktop. Application now runs but get OFSW error. Tried above - no luck. I see all the solutions but still nothing working.
Ideas?

sábado, 28 de marzo de 2009 18:17 I know this is an old post but I want to get this on the web somewhere.
After tweaking my registery to move my "All Programs" to the menu in place of the "Favorites" I had the same issue. All the links gave the "File Open Security Waning". Nothing I could do to reset the permissions worked; it's like the perms were orphaned.
What I did was copy the links to a folder on my deskop, open each one, delete he original links (shortuts) ten copy the new ones in. This solved the problem.
You can first test to see if this is the issue by opening the program directly (without the link). If the program does not give warning and link does the above should fix it. -
viernes, 03 de julio de 2009 22:47Thanks for this. Since installing Firefox 3.5 this has been driving me nuts. It also got rid of the "Do you want to move copy files from this zone" msgs when moving or copying files from my network.
Thanks. -
miércoles, 05 de agosto de 2009 13:37Is there a registry change that will perform the 12 step solution?

jueves, 26 de noviembre de 2009 0:31This worked for me...
~ go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
~ copy the Programs folder to another location, until needed (ie...New Folder)
~ then delete the Programs folder in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
~ copy the other Programs folder back into C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
~ and you're DONE!!! -

This worked for me...
Worked for me. Very odd bug, hope they fix it in win7 SP1.
~ go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
~ copy the Programs folder to another location, until needed (ie...New Folder)
~ then delete the Programs folder in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
~ copy the other Programs folder back into C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
~ and you're DONE!!!
I'll have to make a batch to do this per logon. -

domingo, 14 de marzo de 2010 10:01instead of a letter, i've decided to put the IP of the current computer, since the current computer should always trust its content:

I had a look at this page:
http://www.1stbyte.com/2007/07/06/open-file-security-warning-on-mapped-drive/
Where they suggest the same solution of adding the UNC paths to the local intranet zone.
Also suggests adding .exe to the 'attachement manager'
User Configuration -> Admin Templates -> Windows Components -> Attachment Manager -> Inclusion list for moderate file risk types
I've added .exe under there after adding the server paths (drive letters and server IPs) to the Local Intranet zone.
Seems to work here for XP SP3 under a 2003 SP2 domain.

Since all of my users run from a terminal server I have their startup programs listed in a folder redirect that resides on a NAS, not on the server they log in to. Using a Terminal Server Farm with load balancing they always get the same startup folder, desktop, favorites, etc. It took me a while to figure this out because I didn't want my users to have to go through these steps to get rid of the security warning. Also, I have used a GPO to disable their security tab and rights so they wouldn't have been able to add the UNC path to their startup folder even if they wanted to.
In order to have the UNC path set when they login I added it to the security->local intranet zone via this setting in a GPO.
User Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Internet Explorer Maintenance -> Security -> Security Zones and Content Ratings.
Double click on Security Zones and Content Ratings and then click the Modify Settings Button.
Click on Local Intranet -> Sites. Uncheck Automatically detect intranet network and then check the Include all network paths (UNCs).
Click the Advanced Tab -> add the UNC path to your server where the files reside. Make sure the GPO gets applied to the terminal server and the warning message should go away.
*** NOTE ***
These settings will not apply to users that log on to computers that have the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (ESC) enabled. To create settings for users on computers that have ESC enabled, create a new GPO and edit that GPO on a computer where ESC is enabled. -

I actually found an answer that made more sense that anything above and doesn't reduce your security protection, unlike all of the above solutions. Due to a network failure, after starting my computer and attempting to log into my domain account, it appears that Windows will change the permissions on certain items when it thinks that it is under attack.
So, Windows changed the permissions on my desktop, but nothing that I could see in the UI. Some, but not all, links on my desktop started to exhibit this issue and it only affected links on my desktop. After doing quite a few searches I came across the following article, which turned me in the correct direction:
Fix Start Menu Shortcuts Open File Security Warning in Windows 7 and Windows Vista
All I had to do was change the path to my desktop (see below):ICACLS "C:\Users\<username goes here>\Desktop" /Setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M
and everything was back to normal again.

martes, 17 de enero de 2012 0:05I've had this problem with W7 sp1 running programs in redirected folders on a 2008 R2 DC. I fixed it using the "Site to Zone Assignment List" GPO. I simply entered 2 lines shown exactly as below (using file:// at the start initially wouldn't work for me): ServerName.Domain.Local - 2 1.2.3.4 - 2 (1.2.3.4 is the ip of the server) Worked straight away after this.

@William, icacls.exe is not available on Windows XP SP3.
@reduca
For all users:
To avoid the measly 12-steps, the solution that I used was to add the UNC path of the server to the IE Intranet Zone directly to the registry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\myuncpath]
"file"=dword:00000001
Where "myuncpath" is actually \\<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type" />myuncpath (the UNC path of your CIFS server) without the UNC slashes.
If you add this to HKLM it will not show up in the user's <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type" />Internet Settings control panel under. If added to HKCU, viewing in Internet Settings control panel under Security tab->Sites->Advanced this entry shows up as 'file://myuncpath' in the list of allowed sites.
