Hi,

I have an WinForms-Exe which will be started from a Shared Network-Drive.
Without configuration I get a security exception (FileIO-Permission).

Which is the best way to give this EXE or drive the same rights as an EXE in
'Local Computer' zone?

- Sign the EXE and use the 'Trust assembly' wizard?
- Or add the drive to another zone?

Or are there other possibilites?

Thanks
Eric
