Open File - Security Warning

This annoying warning shows up after IE7 is installed on Windows XP systems if you try to run a program on your own local area network:

Open File - Security Warning
The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?

Here is our solution to get rid of this window:

Open Control Panel
Open the Internet Options Control Panel
Go to the Security tab
Select the Local intranet zone
Click the Sites button
Click the Advanced button

Add \\Server\share as a website to the "zone", where "Server" is your server name and "share" is your share name.

It will add this location as "file://server".
