Every shortcut placed to the Links bar (C:\Users\user_name\Favorites\Links) shows this security warning:
Open File – Security Warning Name … Type: Shortcut … files from Internet etc.
I can place to this directory shortcut to any program, to IE, Windows Explorer etc. – this security warning is always shown, when the shortcut is executed. How to get rid of this?
OS: Windows 7 Professional Edition.
