How To: Unblock Executables On Vista

| | No TrackBacks
Executable files downloaded to your Vista system may cause a security warning ("The publisher could not be verified/Are you sure you want to run this software?"). To prevent that dialog windows from appearing (in case you think the file is safe), follow these steps:

1. Open Explorer, locate the file, and select 'Properties' after right-clicking.

2. Switch to 'General' tab.

3. CLick 'Unblock' button and confirm by clicking 'OK'.

To disable this feature for all the files, use Group Policy. Navigate to
User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Attachment Manager
and enable policy named  "Do not preserve zone information in file attachments".
