Hello,

I have installed a software on a server (win 2003 server) and executed
a program on each XP station to create links to this software.
When I click on a link, it should open the software on the server. But
in my case I get the dialog box with "Always ask before opening this
type of file" grayed out. And everytime I open this .exe software I
get this security dialog box issue, which is pretty anoying. I went
through all the post but didn't find a solution. I did configure the
Intranet local in IE 6 options, but no way.

Does anyone has a solution???

Thanks

I don't think it does really matter. Anyway, it is Twixtel (a swiss
directory). After installation it generates a .exe that can be launch on
every workstation and creates shortcuts to the server. Those shorcuts
open exe files on the server, and here is the trouble with my first post.

Thanks for any help.
