Windows Security Warning

In Windows XP, starting with Service Pack 2, a new Attachment Manager has been added. Its task is to protect computers and laptops from possible dangerous data that are downloaded to these devices by email or from the Internet. Of course, this is quite a useful thing, but if you often receive files from trusted people on the local network, then this security alert will only annoy. You have to spend a lot of time to constantly confirm the process of launching applications.

Therefore, in such situations it will be unnecessary to constantly receive a security warning. You can turn it off, and now we'll look at how it's done. For example, let's take the most popular Internet Explorer browser. We go in it in the "Settings" menu, where we select the "Security" section. In this section, you will see the point "Local intranet". That's it we need. Select it, and then click the "Sites" button. At this point, you will see the settings, where you need to select "Advanced".

After you see the list of nodes that belong to your local intranet, you will need to add the networks of interest to it. When you enter all the addresses, click the "Add" button. All, you managed to disable the security warning for the specified networks. Close all settings and continue working. In the future, all applications received from them will be launched immediately, and a security warning for them will not appear.

I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that the level of security for your local intranet zone should not exceed the "average" mark. Otherwise, the intrusive security alert will always be displayed.

The above example is only suitable for setting up a couple of computers. And how to remove the security warning for fifty, one hundred or more PCs? After all, one person will have to do this for a long time. And everything is very simple. It is enough to run one file, which registers all the necessary parameters in the registry. It can be downloaded on the Internet.

And if all users of a particular network are in the same domain, the Attachment Manager is configured using Group Policy settings. To do this, go to "User Configuration (Computer)", then in "Administrative Templates", then in "Components of Windows", then "Internet Explorer", "Browser Control Panel", find "Security Page" and finally "Lists Designating security zones for Web sites. "

Finally, I want to warn you that you should disable this notification only for those networks in which you are 100% sure. Otherwise, you risk running a virus program that can make your computer's operation impossible, steal or destroy valuable data for you. If you doubt the reliability of the source, it is better to refuse to download such files at all. Successful work!
