Hi all Something happened, I think, when upgrading to IE8. The above message now popped up again, very annoying indeed as I had to call the executable with Process.Start from a .Net application. If you google on the message, a lot of suggestions are found. All of these were tried and none helped. They may if you are running a pure Windows environment. If not, no dice. Also a suggestion to create a batch file and run that with command /c can be found and it works, but isn't really convincing. Finally I found this thread with a solution I can confirm: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winvista/1245053922 My issue was that I had put our local server in the area "Sites I trust". I moved it to "Local intranet" and bingo! Read my posted message below. /gustav Just found out that this is the solution too if you are running executables off a Novell NetWare server, like: file://nsbs65 Such a server is not automatically "discovered" as part of your local intranet by Windows. If you don't run in a Windows domain the other method mentioned in this thread about the group policy administrator is of no use, not even with Windows XP Professional. You could copy the executable to the local temp folder and run it from there but that's really a Laurel and Hardy work-around. I've found too, that you can just use Run from the Start menu and the control applet: inetcpl.cpl and - when done - a reboot isn't needed. /gustav On Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 11:28 am, Ray Marron wrote: >On XP Home, open IE7 & go to Tools|Internet Options|Security.
