Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / February 2008Skip dialog box "Execute/Cancel" when starting MS-Dos batch file
Hello All, I am running Windows XP SP2 We have some legacy apps running on our network that are started up from a batch file. When I start up the app, a dialog box appears saying (translated from Dutch): Cannot confirm publisher. Are you sure you want to run this software? Name: ps.bat Publisher: Unknown Publisher Type: MS-DOS batch file (started) from: U:\pscfg I know there is a trick to skip this dialog box, so I do not have to click it every time I start up the software Does anyone here know what that trick was? I thought it was a registry hack, but I'm not sure TIA Peter-Paul Jansen Rijswijk, The Netherlands > Hello All, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Peter-Paul Jansen > Rijswijk, The Netherlands Perhaps a daft question, but is there a tick box at the bottom left of the dialog box you refer to, offering "Always ask before opening this file"? If so, click the tick (check) next to it to remove it. Failing that, locate the file in Windows Explorer; right-click it, left-click Properties in the drop-down menu. Is there a heading "Security" at the bottom of the "General" tab, with a button next to it saying "Unblock"? If so, try that. Failing *that*, check out this site, it may help: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/networkfile.htm With a quick Google, I also saw a reg hack and a Group Policy entry which you may like to follow up on. >> Hello All, >> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > With a quick Google, I also saw a reg hack and a Group Policy entry which > you may like to follow up on. Hi Olórin, Unfortunately your first 2 ideas did not work. There is no tick box in the dialog and also no heading "Security" at the bottom of the "General" tab. We do not use MS shares, but have a novell network. I'll try Google and let this group know if I figure it out. Thanks for the help. Peter-Paul See: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/networkfile.htm Ed |
