Need to run old DOS program which is just a batch file. But when try to run,
it will give a security warning: The publisher could not be verified.
However, if you click Run it will work. Is there any way to get rid of that
message? Thank you

Make a shortcut to the batch file. Set the shortcut to Run as Administrator
... that gets rid of most warnings.

How to set a shortcut?

Right-click on shortcut > select "Properties" > "Shortcut" tab [if not
already there] > click the "Advanced..." button > check the "Run as
administrator" checkbox > click any OKs etc.

Use the shortcut to launch the program.
