I deployed office service pack 3 to all 900+ machines at work and found out
that this security update renders all wk4 files blocked. I need to find a fix
for this due to my company using a AS400 system and Lotus notes. This file
type is needed to export data from the AS400 so it can be imported into Lotus
Notes, workflow. I read that I could make a registry settings change to allow
specific folders to exempt these types of files , but I can not guarantee
that the users will use this one folder to place the file needed. Plus we
utilize a shared network drive and many of these files are placed at this
location. If anyone has any ideas other than rolling back the Office SP3 or
creating specific folders exempt from this policy please let me know it would
be greatly appreicated.

Since the KB refers to Office 2003, you probably want to post to a
different newsgroup, since this one is dedicated to Excel for Macintosh
(hence the ".mac." in the newsgroup name).

Perhaps:

microsoft.public.excel.setup

or

microsoft.public.excel.misc
