Outlook 2007 Security Notice Pop-up

I had previously written a number of Outlook template files (.oft)
that I had linked to a toolbar on my Outlook 2003 desktop. (This is on
my employer's computer). When I wanted to send a "canned" email
message, I simply clicked on the toolbar, my template opened up, I
filled in the blanks and sent out the message.

Then my company upgraded to Office 2007. The toolbar with the
template files still works, except now when I click on a button to
launch a template I get this pop-up that says "Microsoft Office
Outlook Security Notice. Microsoft Office has identified a potential
security concern. This location may be unsafe: C:\folder-where-I-keep-
my-oft-files."

Then it warns me "Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data.
To protect computer, click only those hyperlinks from trusted sources.
Do you want to continue?" YES/NO

Yes, I know hyperlinks can be harmful to my computer and my data. But
I wrote the damn things and I trust them.

How can I turn off this stupid warning?

Thanks.

I don't know a way to turn off that warning. You can, however, replace the
hyperlinks with VBA macro code to launch the .oft file using the
Application.CreateItemFromTemplate method.

Thanks, but that is a little out of my league. :-)

That should get rid of the warning. Note that the registry key is case
sensitive; it will not work if you used the wrong lower-/uppercase
combination.

OK. I got it to work, but under Common, I had to create a new key
called Security, and then but the DisableHyperlinkWarning DWORD under
it.

Thanks!
