September 6, 200520 yr In our Windows XP Pro + Active Directory + netapp servers infrastructure we're facing an annoying windows security problemwith shortcuts on quicklaunch. Details: Domain machines are built off of RIS GPO through Active Directory used to dish out most settings, including user settings. User profiles (and data) are stored on a net-app box:\\net-app box\user-list\some-user\|_ MyDocuments\||_ WindowsOverhead\|... |_ Desktop\|... |_ profile\|... |_ Application Data\|... ... |_ Microsoft\|... ... ... |_ Quick Launch\|... ... ... |... |_ <empty> <---- note|... ... ... ||... ... ... |_ Internet Explorer\|... ... ... ... |_ Quick Launch\|... ... ... ... ... |_ <contains shortcuts> <---- note When trying to launch applications through shortcuts on the users' quick launch we get a SECURITY WARNING with details(example, below, is of an attempt to launch IE - also GIF file linked to show details.) Name: Launch Internet Explorer Browser.lnk Publisher: UNKNOWN PUBLISHER Type: Shortcut From: <netapp-box address> <OPEN> <Cancel>Highly likely it is seen from a network site and hence *considered* potentially unsafe. Is there anyway to go around this?
