Hello,
When I run a process developped with VC++ 6 / XP with adresse
"c:\folder\process.exe" it works properly.
When I run it with a network adresse "\\computername\sharfolder\process.exe"
I systematically have an "unknown publisher" warning message with a
"run/cancel" button selection.
How can I deactivate this warning message ?
Thank you for answers

When you run it from the local "C" drive, it is treated as 1 security zone.
When you run it via a UNC (or any other external location) it is a
different, untrusted security zone.

You could A) digitally sign it, and then B) register the signature as
trusted.
 
When the shortcut points to a share on a server, you could adjust the IE7
security settings. These are the settings that worked for a similar setup at
a client.

Open the IE settings from Tools, Internet Options. On the Security tab
select Local Internet and click Sites. Clear the checkbox for "Automatically
detect intranet" and check the other 3 boxes. Click the Advanced button on
that same dialog box and add file://ServerName to the list of trusted sites.
Clear the checkbox to "Require server verification (https) for all sites in
this zone".
