When I make a presentation with PowerPoint XP I like to use .mov files
and custom buttons to call them up. However, whenever I click on the
button to play the movie I get a message box warning "Some files can
contain viruses . . . " and when I click ok the movie plays. This is
disconcerting. How can I just get the movies to play without that
stupid message box??????

Thanks,

Ob

Hello,

The warning will come up each time you follow a link a potentially harmful
file.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
have additional options for how to handle navigating links to potentially
harmful files, don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
