I have the exact same problem, seen your posts a few times while googling :P

We have a dos environment, aka files servers and tons of dos batch files.
With every execution the XP client is spamming a security warning ... for no
reason at all.

So how do i trust/sign files/batch files/network drives etc.

Anyone have a SP2 security warning blokker tool? :P
