Running DOS BAtch files

I have a DOS based program that runs fine in all operating systems but using
media center with IE7 it always stops me from running the batch file to
start it and asks if I am sure. Looking at all of the help files it says
there is a file with an unblock in the properties which I can't find. Anyone
have any ideas on how to eliminate this problem?

 

Hi Bill,

Is the batch file on your local hard drive or on a networked location?

Hi Ryan
The batch file is on my local machine running a program on a networked
system. Checked all of the files for the unblock but cannot find any.

 

Hi Bill,

Is the security message that is popping up prompting to execute the .BAT
file, or is it for the networked program?

You may need to add the location of your networked share into the 'Local
Intranet' settings of Internet Explorer.
In IE, goto Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Click 'Local Intranet'
-> Click 'Sites' button -> Click 'Advanced' button -> untick 'require https
verification...' -> enter the UNC path to the file share here (ie
\\server\share)

You can try setting the following environment variable temporaily to see if
it works. Will at least let us know where to look if the above fails.

Click Start->Run-> type cmd and press enter
at the command prompt, type

set SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS=1

this disables zone checks (not recommended) and should only be used
temporarily. to put it back to normal:

set SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS=


See how you go
