Disable do you want to open this file? Security warning

Post by ADF-Sniper »

This had been bugging me for ages and took a while to figure it out. So to save some one the pain ill post it here.

To disable the warning start the Group Policy Editor (Start > Run, type
-gpedit.msc- and press OK) and go to:

-User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components >
Attachment Manager- then set -Inclusion list for low file types- to
Enabled and enter the file types you don't want to be warned about in
the box (for example: .exe).

Here is what I have added, I know what I am doing ;)
.zip;.rar;.cab;.txt;.exe;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mov;.mp3;.wav

Thanks to.

I don't get those messages.

Maybe my security level is set too low. [smilie=jpshakehead.sml[1].gif]
