I have unchecked the "Always Ask" checkbox for the "Open File - Security Warning" prompt, but it continues to prompt when I run a certain program. How do I stop it?
This happens when you save a program that you have downloaded from the internet to a secure location on your computer, such as the program files folder.
To solve this problem:
- Move the program that is prompting to your desktop
- Launch the file from there, and uncheck the checkbox
- Close the program, and move it back to its orginal location
You can also fix this problem without running the program by using the command prompt:
- Click start
- Type: command prompt
- Right-click command prompt, and click run as administrator
- Browse to the folder where the application .exe is stored
- Issue the following commands, where filename is the file's name:
move filename.exe filename.bak type filename.bak > filename.exe del filename.bak
