Hello,
I created an hyperlink between a Project Std 2007 task and a Word document,
but when I click on it to open the document, I get the warning:
______________________________

The feature can be turned off via the registry:

    1. Open the registry editor

    2. Browse to the following location in the registry
       HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common
    3. If the Security key already exists under the Common key, then 
select it.
       If it doesn’t exist already then create it via:
       Edit-> New-> Key
    4. Here create a new DWORD Value via
       Edit-> New-> DWORD Value

       Value name: DisableHyperlinkWarning
       Value Type: REG_DWORD
       Value: 1

       When this key is set to 0 or is missing, the security warning 
will show again.
       You might need to restart your computer for changes to take effect.

Thanks a lot Bernd,

Hello Bernd,

I created that "DisableHyperlinkWarning" key in 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common,
I restarted the computer,
But I still have the useless warning message!
Any idea?
Thanks for your help

Is not it in the 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Alerts registry that 
we have to add the DisableHyperlinkWarning key?

thanks

Under

not under Common directly.

I don't have any Security directory under Common :-(

Sorry, I misread your post.
Now I'm right
Thanks for your patience.

See, this is the problem with computer users and why so many people have 
problems. There is built in warning systems and what not to protect the 
computer and people keep asking how to get around them, shut them off, 
etc.Then they wonder why their computers start acting funny because they 
got some sort of virus or other infection that these security features 
would block. The greatest laugh is they blame Windows for the problem! 
No, blame yourself for shutting off all the security! (This includes the 
people that think shutting off UAC is a good idea).

Hi milt,
I think that this systematic warning does not warn anything useful because 
it is systematic. More, it is a little bit annoying because all the files 
that I'm pointing on with these hyper links have been created by me. This 
warning would be useful if it warned only when it detects a real virus in 
the file. But it's not the case.
The waste of time and productivity due to security measures may be ten times 
greater that the waste of time and productivity due to a potential virus, 
when the severity of which ( impact x probability) is so tiny.

Sort of.  If you read the description of the feature it is there to
protect you but only you know if you need protecting from yourself.

If you see it on your own system and know you are virus free, MS tells
you how to disable it (depending on your version, no registry edit
needed) for the duration of your effort so it is not annoying and then
turn it back on when you are done doing whatever you are doing.  That
is the recommendation - don't circumvent security, but you can choose
to do so.

If you turn it off permanently in the registry, never or forget to
turn it back on and then someday receive stuff from an untrustworthy
source, you may be sorry you manually disabled this built in
protection mechanism.

What do you think is systematic about it?

<What do you think is systematic about it?

In my specific use of the software, this feature is useless and time 
consuming. It could be useful if this warning appeared only when there is a 
real threat. But I have an anti-virus and a firewall which are doing this 
job pretty well.
So I'm very glad to use this registry key. Anyway, I would be interested in 
a solution to disable temporarily this feature without any registry edit. Do 
you know it?
Thanks
