virus warning
When creating self running presentations on CD I often want to include an exe. file (such as Acrobat Reader), when I link the file in PowerPoint on CD it comes up with a warning saying some files can contain virus are you sure you want to go ahead. How do I remove this warning as it could scare many people.
Thanks |

virus warning
You can try the "Run program" option instead of the "Hyperlink to" option
(under the Action Settings dialog box). When you click the "Browse" button to find the "program", make sure you change the files of type to "All files" so you will be able to find the PDF file. Not positive that you won't get the message, but it is worth a try. It works on some files. -- Bill Foley, Microsoft MVP (PowerPoint) www.pttinc.com Check out PPT FAQs at: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/ Check out Word FAQs at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/index.htm "Ramin" wrote in message news When creating self running presentations on CD I often want to include an exe. file (such as Acrobat Reader), when I link the file in PowerPoint on CD it comes up with a warning saying some files can contain virus are you sure you want to go ahead.

How do I remove this warning as it could scare many people. It depends on whether the user is playing the presentation in the viewer or in PPT itself, and in which version of each, but you can't count on removing the warning. It's a major nuisance that you can't do this on your own PC at times, but in the long run, it's a good thing that the warning comes up otherwise. Think about it: this way I get a warning. Without the warning, any link in your presentation could potentially reformat my hard drive or worse. Nobody with a lick of sense would take that risk and your CD would go in the trash. About all you can do is educate the user. Explain to them what the link will do and why they should run it. -- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com |
