Windows – Disable Windows 7’s “Open File – Security Warning” dialog for exe on local drive

eclipseSecuritywindows 7

I am trying to run Eclipse java-galileo-SR2-win32 when I get open-file-security-warning. The files are just extracted from a zip file and put into a directory "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\LocalLow\eclipse-java-galileo-SR2-win32\eclipse".

The Internet Explorer settings for adding network drives to the intranet zone do not work on local drives. Also there is no option to 'unblock' the file in the file properties.

What other option is there to turn off this annoying prompt? Or even better be able to select which files are considered safe to run.

Best Answer

In the start menu enter gpedit.msc. Then go to:

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Attachment Manager

and Add *.exe to the "Inclusion list for moderate risk file types" setting.
