(Solved) - Hyperlink warning -- FOUND IT.

(2 posts)

Xcel 2007. Every time I click on a hyperlink (even a link to my own HDD) I get a message: 'Microsoft has identified a potential security concern. This location may be unsafe.' Good grief it's my own hard drive.

I've searched and can't find a way to turn this off. No 'Don't show me this again' option in the box.

Help and thanks.

EXCEL OPTIONS>Trust Center>Trust center settings>Trusted locations ...Adjust to suit your needs

you can simply turn off this feature from the registry....

Open the registry editor by typing 'regedit' in the 'run' command

Browse to the following location in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice12.0Common

and search for a key called 'Security'

If the Security key already exists under the Common key, then
select it.
If it doesn't exist already then create it via:
Edit-> New-> Key
4. In the Security Key on the right side ,create a new DWORD Value via
Edit-> New-> DWORD Value

Concern

Value name: DisableHyperlinkWarning
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

NB : When this key is set to 0 or is missing, the security warning
will show again.
Close you registry and restart .....
