Security Warning from Hyperlink In PowerPoint Viewer

[abruce]

Please can someone help me.

I am trying to create an auto-run cd presentation through PowerPoint
2003. Everything works fine except when you run it and click on a
hyperlink it pops up a warning about the trust level of the link.

Is there anyway to remove this warning?

Kind regards,

Adam

Unfortunately, there's not. (I know it's frustrating. Welcome to the world
of Microsoft "security.")

Well, there is a registry hack, and a PPT MVP created a utility that will do
it for you, but that won't help in an autorun CD situation. Here's the link
to it anyway: http://officeone.mvps.org/download/hyperlink_warning.html

Wow, thanks so much! I hope this works with videos. Every time I play an
MPG video, this occurs. It never used to, and it does not occur with WMF
files.

Wow!

This says for Office 2003 - does it work with 2000?

And I have Office 2007 so the Registry values are all different. I cannot
even change EditFlags in WMVFile to 10000 because the current value is 00 00
01 00 and I'm not sure if the 10000 is supposed to be 00 01 00 00. In fact,
none of the advice at the referenced page
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=829072 seems to apply very
well to Office 2007. Rats.

I think we didn't have these warnings in the 2000 version....

Yeah, the original post said 2003. I didn't think to mention this probably
wouldn't work for 2007.

Sorry, I don't know the fix -- or if there even is one -- for 2007.

That's what I thought!
I had it appear a couple of times (to my surprise) when I jumped to a
hyperlink to an mp3 file that was associated with i-Tunes.
Normally I don't get them woth 2000

Interesting.

If you had the link set up as an action setting -- like a run or
something -- that might make a difference.
