I often find that I am working on a Microsoft Office document (spreadsheet, slideshow, word document, etc) while I have an email chain open in Outlook and I want to create a hyperlink in the email to the document that is open. What I do now is open Windows Explorer, navigate to the saved document and right-click drag into the email chain where I select "Create Hyperlink Here". Is there a way to accomplish this without having to open Windows Explorer and navigate to the containing folder? (Maybe something similar to the way proxy icons work on the Mac?)

To remove the warning, do this:
- Run Procmon.exe (download from download.sysinternals.com/files/ProcessMonitor.zip)
- Turn capture off, then clear. Turn capture on.
- Click hyperlink in Word.
- Turn capture off. Filter by Process=Winword.exe, Operation=RegQueryValue, Result=NAME NOT FOUND
- Find first entry with EditFlags in Path.
- Open Regedit, navigate to the Path. Add new DWORD type called “EditFlags” with the Hexadecimal value 10000.
Result: Hyperlink no longer displays a dialog saying "Some files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer".
I got this information from Rahul's corner
The Only answer I could find for this problem was to create a new user account and move data over.
My customer said:
It was random initially and then became frequent and then permanent and then spread from MS Office products to other programs as well.
Creating a new user account might not be the most ideal thing for everyone but I had to give up & move on at some point. :( looser
Different stuffs I tried in two days are below:
- Not only disable the add-ins but uninstall programs which had any add-in for Office Apps like Mcafee & Lexmark printer toolbar
- Clean boot the computer
- Plug HDD to a different computer and run virus/malware scans
- Tried Office apps in safe mode for sure
- Disconnect Network drives as I have seen them causing problem with file Save & Open action at times in past
Played around with Process Monitor, compared then deleted and re-created following registry keys with another similar system.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\OpenFind\MicrosoftWord\Settings\SaveAs
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CIDSave
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32
Ran chkdsk /r
- Re-installed MS Office too
- No component store corruption detected on DISM
/CheckHealth&/ScanHealth - Didn't try System File Checker because I haven't been lucky with it ever
Affected system was a Windows 10 with Office 2013 installed, Which I upgraded to Office 16 later and the problem was still there until a new User account was created
Best Answer
You don't need to open Windows Explorer, but you still need to browse for that file.
Press "Ctrl+K" to open Insert Hyperlink window and browse for the file.
