Default Viewer - can the viruses warning be avoided?

Hello,

Using the PowerPoint Viewer (2003) I get a warning about possible
viruses when links to an exe file (CloseAllSlideShows.exe) and to
linked Word files are used.

I know that there are no viruses! But a user will no doubt be alarmed
when seeing this message. Can I stop this happening?

Cheers

Geoff

Hi Geoff
Good news is you can and its easy!

Bad news is that it will ONLY work on the computer you run the patch on as
its a registry tweak. Users will still get the warning unless they run the
patch too.

Did that answer the question / help?

John,

Sorry for the late reply.

This is the problem as I intend to put the files on a CD and use the
PowerPoint Viewer!

Cheers
