Code-signed, but I still get warning in XP VM

[NewsArchive]

I've code-signed a utility that I use in my office. It's on a network
share, and I got sick of seeing the warning popup when I ran it.

After code-signing, I see the digital signature information. It's
fine when I run it from Win7. Also, if I run it from an XP VM command
line, I get no security warning. However, when I run it on the XP VM
from a shortcut or from the Run dialog, I get the standard warning.
What's going on?

I thought perhaps it wasn't properly manifested. I don't usually use
SB7 to add the manifest, as I can do that directly from Clarion. I
tried anyway, and SB7 said it already contained a manifest.

Any other ideas?

This is the standard Windows XP security warning that appears when you run a
file from a network share via Shortcut or Run dialog.

What you can do is to enable the "Include all network paths (UNCs)" setting
in Internet Options applet.

1. Click Start, Run and type INETCPL.CPL
2. Select the Security tab, Local intranet
3. Click Sites button
4. Mark the "Include all network paths (UNCs)" option

An alternative method is to add the IP or the FQDN of the network computer
to the Local Intranet or Trusted sites zone in Internet Explorer.

Thanks, Friedrich. I suspected that that was the case, but I hoped
there was another way to handle it.

BTW, I did scan through your article earlier, but that was the day my
head was flooded with too many details and not enough Eurekas. <g>
