Trusted Locations in Access or perhaps MS Office in general

Access 2007 on Vista and XP

Is there a way that Trusted Locations can be set so that when new FE (Front
End) software is moved in for a user that the Trusted Locations do not get
over written and require re-setting all over again. In my mind I'm thinking
it would be nice for a user to be able to establish or set global trusted
locations which declares to MicroSoft Office that all these folders ( and
perhaps even subfolders) are to be trusted no matter what the application
...i.e. Access...Word..Excel ..etc. This sort of setting could override the
display of the Security Warning. Our ongoing development has users getting
new software every couple of weeks, and the security warnings are truly a
continual annoyance.

Thanks

The Auto FE Updater can take of this for you. www.autofeupdater.com.
As well as updating the FEs on the client systems when a new version
is made available on the server.

The only real way of doing this would be for the user to click on the
Continue, or whatever exactly that message states, and then you write
the registry key to the current path of the FE.

All trusted locations are stored in the registry under:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Securit y\Trusted
Locations\LocationN
(where N is an integer)

To see what the entries should look like, just add a trusted location
through the Trust Center, then go to the registry to look at the key
and see what it did. Note: you cannot trust a specific file, but only
at the folder level, so you'll want to make sure that you're
installing your app to a folder that contains only your application
and not other stuff.

You can add any key name you want under Trusted Locations\ instead of
using LocationN. Such as Trusted Locations\My App or Trusted
Locations\generated GUID

You can just set it in the Registry, as illustrated by Jeff Conrad at
