Q. When users run a program from a file server, they see a "file
download" warning box

A. Internet Explorer Enhanced Security (IEES) restricts access to
scripts, executable files, and other potentially unsafe files on a
UNC path unless the UNC path is added to the Local Intranet zone
explicitly. For example, if you want to access \\server\share
\setup.exe, you must add \\server to the Local intranet zone.

Start Internet Explorer on the Terminal Server, go to Tools -
Internet Options - Security - Local Intranet zone. Add the UNC name
of the server where the application is located, something like
\\server.

Or configure this in a GPO:
User Configuration - Windows Settings - Internet explorer
Maintenance - Security zones and Content ratings
"Local intranet"

I created shortcuts for applications used by ts users and dump
it all to a folder and shared it. On GP i configure the folder
redirection for the users desktop. When a user logs in and
double click the shortcuts in his desktop it always prompt the
open file - security warning. How can I disable it? All
applications resides on that computer.
