    Open File Security Warning

    In trying to run the file that is generating the subject error, I right-click
    on the file giving me the warning, and choose Properties. On the General tab
    of Properties, I click on Unblock (Apply, OK). But every time I run the file,
    I still get the error and still, when I go to Properties, find the option to
    Unblock. Any reason I can't get the fix to "stick"? I'd appreciate any
    help! Thanks!

    Hi Kurtrock,

    Make sure that the file is located on the Desktop or in one of your username folders. It will not Unblock in any other location.

    Make sure that the file is not already open to. You can check on the Processes tab in the Task Manager (press CTRL+ALT+DEL). If you see the file listed, then click it to highlight it, then click End Process.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    It's been a while since I had this error, but I believe the problem is that
    the file is located in a system directory. Try copying the file in question
    to your desktop and unblocking it there. If it works, you may have to
    reconfigure your startup (or whatever) to run from your desktop. I supposed
    you could also just take ownership of the folder where it is too.
