I have a new computer with XP Pro installed from DEll. I
installed a network program, with a shortcut on the
desktop. The program works fine, but when you first
double click on the shortcut, a message box pops up
asking if it safe to open the program, the dialog at the
top of the box says 'File Download". We have several
other pc's on the network, but only the XP Pro based
machines ask for this (not 98 or 2000). Is their a
setting that can be changed to recognize this as a
installed application, not a download ??

The Path for the file is s:\pm\pm.exe.

Thanks in Advance.
