Article summary

The Open File - Security Warning pops up each time I open FIMS requiring me to confirm to run it each time. How can I stop this?

Answer:
If you receive a dialog when you start FIMS asking you "Do you want to run this file?" followed by "Name: prowin32.exe" you can do the following to stop the warning from appearing:
  1. Hold down the Windows key and press R.
  2. The run dialog should appear. Enter "Inetcpl.cpl" without quotes and click OK .
  3. Go to the Security tab of the Internet Properties dialog and select the Local intranet zone.
  4. Click the Sites button.
  5. Uncheck Automatically detect intranet network .
  6. Make sure that the three Include options are checked and click OK .
  7. Click OK on the Internet Properties dialog.
You should now be able to start FIMS without the Security Warning appearing.
