I have software that I run everyday and this "Open File - Security Warning"
"The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure want to run this
software." message.

Is there anyway to get rid of this message, because I know this software is
good.

Thanks

Rocky
 
1.. Right-click the file and select Properties.
2.. Click on the Security tab.
3.. Click Advanced in the lower right.
4.. In the Advanced Security Settings window that pops up, click on the
Owner tab.
5.. Click Edit.
6.. Click Other users or groups.
7.. Click Advanced in the lower left corner.
8.. Click Find Now.
9.. Scroll through the results and double-click on your current user
account.
10.. Click OK to all of the remaining windows except the first Properties
window.
11.. Select your user account from the list up top and click Edit.
12.. Select your user account from the list up top again and then in the
pane below, check Full control under Allow, or as much control as you need.
13.. You'll get a security warning, click Yes.
14.. On some files that are essential to Windows, you'll get a "Unable to
save permission changes. access is denied" warning and there's nothing that
you can do about it to the best of my knowledge.
15.. Reconsider why you're using Windows.
 
Hi,
All the steps work fine until I get to number 12, I have the user
account from the pane below. But, under Full Control, my security
warning check box is greyed out, so therefore I can't click yes. How to
fix this?? Please help, I would really be grateful.

Thanks,

IIRC there's a button marked edit that you have to push.
 
Hi, I have clicked the edit button and the security warning box is
still greyed out. Is there another edit button, I'm just not seeing??
Thanks for helping!

Thanks again,

Are you logged in as a standard user or as an administrator?

Have you tried logging in as *the* Administrator?

I often have not been able to change permissions, and some other people say
the same.

And in truth, I don't know much.
