OUTLOOK ERROR:WINDOWS CANNOT OPEN THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE.......
Outlook Error Guys.
Give you the rundown, They wanted to send links to shared documents to each other on the network using outlook, but outlook does not like this as it violates security.
They managed to get outlook to accept links by turning off a few things. Now when they send each other a link to a work document for example, outlook error
WINDOWS CANNOT OPEN THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PREVENTED BY A SOFTWARE RESTRICTION POLICY. FOR MORE INFORMATION ,OPEN EVENT VIEWER OR CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR.
I am looking to post the event viewer message but does anyone have any ideas.
thanks a million

What a great idea, didnt think of that.
Ok question they have 7 xp pro clients, 2kserver with everything stored on a nas drive
They create big 3d studio max files and its these files that they want to point each other too.
As i said they were trying to do it thru outlook but your right its a silly way.
I LOVE your idea, but they would need to add links to a intranet page themselves, could you link me to some sites that woudl explain setting something like this up.
love it!!!!

That is what this forum is all about. :)
Of course, the way we do it does not allow our users to tamper with the page, and we coded the page ourselves. Let me think on the best way to approach this. (I do not actually write html code, I just administer - manage the dept. Lol, eh?)
You may even post a separate question in the IIS section. I will bet those experts there could advise you better and may even have a very fast answer for you.

BTW: I don't think relaxing security is ever a good way to go. (I am also the designated Security Information Officer, so what do you expect?)

Great stuff, just called the customer and they like it. I reccomended having the page as the desktop and users can click on the desktop, how easy is that!!!
They still reccon that sending links by email is easier, but I will work on them.
will check iis for more info, ta

EndUsers are ALWAYS reluctant to try new things. I feel your pain. But something like this, once they see it, will blow them away. And who knows, it may even bring you a little business.
