Outlook 2007 SP1

When a user receieves an email with a link to a pdf file on the Intranet
site, e.g.

http://intranet/document.pdf

they receive a warning "Microsoft Office has identified a potential security
concern. This location may be unsafe.

blocked::http://intranet/document.pdf

Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer......

Do you want to continue?"


If they choose Yes to continue they are either given an error 'Access is
denied' or 'The parameter is incorrect' message.


Clicking on links to other types of documents (xls, zip) and external
websites such as www.microsoft.com work fine.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

It is mostly related to the hyperlink warnings in Outlook 2007. Follow the steps below to resolve the issue.

#1 Disable hyperlink warnings for 2007 Office programs
============
To disable the hyperlink warnings in 2007 Office programs when an http:// address or an ftp:// address is used, you must create a new
registry subkey. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open dialog box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, locate one of the following registry subkeys:
o HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common
o HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common
Note You only have to modify one of these registry subkeys. You do not have to modify both of them.
4. Click the registry subkey, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click Key.
5. Type Security, and then press ENTER to name the key.
6. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
7. Type DisableHyperlinkWarning, and then press ENTER to name the entry.
8. In the right pane, right-click DisableHyperlinkWarning, and then click Modify.
9. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, click Decimal, and then type 1 under Value data.

Note A value of 0 enables the hyperlink warning message. A value of 1 disables the hyperlink warning message.
10. Click OK.
11. Exit Registry Editor.

If you still receive a warning message

You may still receive a warning message from Microsoft Windows. If you continue to receive a warning message after you follow the
steps above, use one of the following methods to resolve the issue.

#2 Turn off the "Confirm open after download" option for the file type that you are trying to open
================
1. Double-click My Computer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. On the File Types tab, select the appropriate file name extension (for example, WMV) in the Registered File Types box, and then
click Advanced.
4. Click to clear the Confirm open after download check box, and then click OK.
5. In the Folder Options dialog box, click Close.

#3 Modify the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMVFile\EditFlags registry subkey
==================
Use this method if the warning message affects multiple computers.

To disable the warning message, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMVFile\EditFlags
3. Click EditFlags, and then click Rename on the Edit menu.
4. Type OldEditFlags, and then press ENTER.
5. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD value.
6. Type EditFlags, and then press ENTER.
7. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
8. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, click Hexadecimal under Base.
9. Type 10000, and then click OK.

For detail information, refer to the following KB article.

Thanks for the response.

I already tried the suggestion in that article, which does correctly
suppress the hyperlink warning, but the attachment still does not open. You
receive the same errors, 'Access is denied' or 'The parameter is incorrect'
message.

Hi there. We experienced the same issue a while ago, and actually
obtained a HotFix from Microsoft.

The file was called "office-kb941275-fullfile-x86-glb.exe" so perhaps
you can get the same from MS.

Ho[e this helps...

Thanks for the info.

I checked and KB941275 is publically not available at the moment because
either it is in draft or being re-written. Since this is not a major issue
for us I'll wait for it to become available.

No worries.

It's definitely the one as we had the exact same symptoms. Annoying,
but not (as you say) a major issue...

Emily...

When I use your hyperlink to request the Hot Fix, I get a language question
page...pick English...that takes me to another page that says procedures have
changed and one must go to the applicable KB page and apply online request
from that page. Problem...MS can't find KB941275?? So I try kb310049, just to
get any kb page to request the hot fix. I must be pretty stupid but I don't
see anywhere one requests for the hot fix. I even did a search for the actual
hot fix file itself... "office-kb941275-fullfile-x86-glb.exe" and again MS
search can't find! #$#@@$%#!

Here is the FIX here. I havent tested it, but it is the same file
that is in mentioned above.

just download as a free user and you will get the link in one shot.
Hope it works

Why would I trust an executable purported to be a hotfix delivered by a
source other than Microsoft? I'd have to be a fool to run something like
this, especially since it is available directly from Microsoft. On top of
that, this hotfix was contained in a Microsoft update (KB946983) that your
Windows system should have discovered with Windows Update back in March. It
shouldn't need to be installed separately at all.
