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

Re: Open File Security Warning

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.
