Mike, since setting up Windows 2003 server with XP clients we get the
same thing - it doesn't matter who clicks on a network share exe file,
it always gives that warning. I would love to find a way to stop the
alert too. In our case, we get the alert on any user account trying to
open a executable/office file from any share.
