Start EXE file and prevent Windows Warning
Hello,
I am running an EXE file from a mapped network drive. Each time I double-click on the file I get a Windows warning that asks me:
"Do you want to run this file?"
Then, I press the RUN button and the file runs.
The reason I ask is because I am setting up a logon script for each user's workstation so that they can run program from their mapped network drive. I don't want them to be worried by this message coming up on the screen. So, I want to prevent the message from appearing entirely.
How do I prevent the "Do you want to run this file?" prompt from coming up?
By the way, my workstations are all Windows 7 (x86) and (x64)
Thanks,
John

Are you running this program from the desktop or the start menu?
If you are running from the start menu, try the following:
Open the cmd console as an administrator (right click on cmd program and choose run as administrator) and enter:

It is my program and it is an EXE file. The program is on a network drive. I created a shortcut to the EXE file and I copied the shortcut to the local computer's desktop. When I double-click the shortcut I get a Windows warning. I want to prevent this warning from happening.
I can right click on the shortcut and say, "run as administrator". Then, I can run the program without the warning. But, my users will most likely double-click on the file and get worried when they see the warning. Is there a switch I can put on the shortcut to tell it not to display the warning?
