I wonder if someone can help. I'm creating a presentation and have added an
action that picks up and runs a file when I click on it. The files is a .swf
file and when I click on it comes up with the following dialogue box

"Opening C:\\ etc etc

Some files can contain virus or be otherwise harmful to your computer. It is
important to be sure that this file is from a trustworthy source.

Would you like to open this file?"

I click yes and off we go but can I change a setting in internet explorer
that will stop this dialogue box appearing as it won't look good when I'm
presenting?

Thanks in advance.

Cool.

Just be aware that this utility must be run on the show computer -- so if
it's not your system, you'll want to take the utility along and run it
there!
