Running Batch Files Brings Up Security Dialog Box

We have an NT4 domain and have W2K3 servers in that domain. When attempting to edit or run a batch file we get a popup box that says that some files are malicious and do we want to open it.

Can someone tell me how to access the security policy setting that will allow for the running of the .BAT or .CMD file without the dialog box poping up?

Thanks,
Russ-S

Here's a way to disable this warning:

In Internet Explorer;
click tools - Options
Under security settings, select "Intranet zone"
Click the "Sites" button, Uncheck the box that says "Automatically detect intranet network".
Checked the "Include all network paths (UNCs).
Click OK

I suggest that you try the "Questions" forum. The "Discussion" forum is for matters of general discussion, not specific problems in search of a solution.

Post problems such as this to the "Question" forum, rather than the "Discussion" forum. There are those who specifically seek out problems in need of a solution, and that's where they go to look for such.

Additionally there are the benefits that:

1) The "Questions" forum provides for your feedback, by way of your being able to mark "helpful" responses as such. This does not necessarily mean that a given response contained the complete solution to your problem, but only that it served to guide you toward it. This is intended to serve as an aid to those who may in the future have a problem similar to yours, so that they might have a ready source of reference available, thereby perhaps obviating the need for them to repeat questions previously asked and answered.

2) The revised TR makes it quite difficult to find both "Discussions" and "Questions" that have not had a fairly recent post, owing to some functions comingling them in the listings. By keeping each type in their respective forums, it is easier for all to find what they are looking for.
