Guest Paul Worsnop Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Hi, I have a PC that has recently been updated to Win XP SP3. However, when it now attempts to open files that are located on our domain server the Open File Security Warning box appears everytime. We had turned this off by adding our Domain Server name to the "Trusted Sites" area of IE7 when running SP2, however the upgrade to SP3 seems to have brought it back and ignored the fact that our server is still listed as a trusted site! Can anyone shed any light on how to solve this problem and remove the annoying prompt? Thanks Paul
Guest Gis Bun Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 RE: Open File Security Warning - SP3 I don't think the trusted sites in IE7 is related to opening file on a domain server. With a security update from a couple of years ago [and incorporated in SP3], you will always get the security warning on a NTFS drive [including servers].

Guest Paul Worsnop Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Re: Open File Security Warning - SP3 Thanks for the assistance guys. I have finally worked around it. I simply entered the exact share path into the trusted sites list and all is working fine (\\Servername\ServerShare). Its a confusing one as I entered in the path of the server previously and this didnt work - a bug perhaps?! mmm - anyway its working now. Thanks again Paul "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: > Does adding the server to the Local Intranet Sites list help?
