Windows Security Warning when opening a doc with pics

How about providing the exact security warning you are receiving.

Thanks!

Also, have you posted these rtf docs to your Companyweb?

It's in German... I'll try a quick translate:

Windows Security Warning:
This document contains code that the security settings does not permit. Therefore it will not be correctly displayed.

There is a link which I can click on "Should I open this document" and it talks about OLE objects. If I open the doc, the pictures are not displayed, but the text is.

No, the rtf docs have not been posted in SharePoint. I have just created a Share on my SBS for docs.

Some of these docs are just screenshots from sofware setups made in Wordpad and saved as .rtf - no use for anyone but the admin. Hence, I just require them somewhere on the SBS server, so that they can be accessed from other workstations...

It there a way of lowering the security permissions in the Intranet zone of the SBS? Globally, for all? I never had this problem before with other SBS intallations.

Thanks for your help.

p.s. New points as this "easy" question has become "more difficult".

OK, I will think about putting them in... but why the error? Is there a new security feature in SBS that I need to be aware of? How can it be turned off?

What version of IE is on the client machine?

Also, FYI, if you rename the documents to have a .doc extension, then you probably wouldn't have the error anyhow.

On most version 6.0.2900.2180...

Actually, I don't know why you would get that error since an RTF document should open in either MS Word or in WordPad and not in IE.  If you would still like to find out what the error was caused by, please post the entire error message (which is probably still in your Application Event Log).  I realize that the error message would be in German which is fine.

Unfortunately, nothing appears in the event logs. Only a dialog box with the following info (in German, my translation is above):

=========== paste ===========

Windows-Sicherheitswarung:
Dieses Dokument enhält Code, den die Sicherheitseinstellungen nicht zulassen. Es wird deshalb eventuell nicht richtig angezeigt wird.

Sollte ich das Dokument öffnen?

Thanks for your continued help.

omb, what version of office is installed on the machines that are having these errors?

Jeff

As already mentioned, the docs are created in Wordpad (I often do this on servers so that I can capture screenshots of important setup or info screens. Office is not installed on any of the servers from which I get this error.

Any ideas?

your question didn't say anything about you opening these on servers and getting the error, it said client PCs?  Office is not installed on any of those?

Jeff
TechSoEasy

No - office is not installed on them.

Sorry, but the rtf's were being opened on the servers themselves. If the doc was local, no problems. Across the network (i.e. from a network share) the error comes up.

So, what happens if you rename the .rtf documents to have a .doc extension?  This should resolve the issue... the problem being that .rtf documents are actually html and can therefore execute code.

.doc files should still open fine in Wordpad.

Unfortunately this did not work.

However, I've got a solution / workaround. I added all servers to the trusted sites in IE Security - this did the trick. What I don't understand it why?
