Hello Paul,
I would like to disable the warning popup that I see when I click on
links to external documents in a .one file. I only use onenote to
organize files on my hard drive, and I'd rather do without the extra
click. I did look in the Tools>Options but didn't see how to do this.
I was frustrated by these messages as well and was told some time ago about
a registry hack that doesn't affect your security settings for OneNote 2007/Office
2007 but suppresses the warning message. It requires you to make one registry
entry only. I pulled this from some notes I had stored in OneNote for Office
Applications,
The following needs to be added to the registry to disable the warning message
that pops up when clicking on a hyperlink to a local file:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Security
"DisableHyperlinkWarning"=dword:00000001
I tried to make a merge file to merge it into the registry and it always
said that it merged correctly but it never showed up or made a difference,
I was still getting the warning, so I decided to create it manually.
1. Open Regedit and click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER and drill down until you are
at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\
2. Check to see if there is an entry for Security. On Mine there wasn't so
I had to create it.
3. You should be at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\
at this point.
4. Click on New on the Edit menu, and then click Key
5. Type Security and press enter.
6. Again, on the Edit menu select New and then click DWORD Value.
7. Type the following: DisableHyperlinkWarning, and then press ENTER to name
the entry.
8. In the right-hand window you should see the DisableHyperlinkWarning that
you just entered. Right-click on it and select Modify.
9. Enter the value of 1 in the Edit DWORD Value Dialog box where it calls
for Value Data. (Note that a value of 0 enables the Hyperlink warning message
and a value of 1 will disable it.
10. Click OK and close Regedit.
11. You should get no more warning messages when clicking on a hyperlink
to a local file from any Office application, not just OneNote.
I have only tried this on a Vista Ultimate machine, running Office 2007 and
OneNote 2007 but it's working fine on all three systems.
Hope this helps,
Michael
P.S. Below I think is the original info from the Microsodt site that the
above is based on. At any rate, the above works great for me but I think
it turns off the warnings for all the Office applications. Good Luck.

executable file, you may receive the following error message:
Opening path/filename.
Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To protect your computer,
click only those hyperlinks from trusted sources. Do you want to continue?
Note This behavior occurs regardless of your security level settings. To
locate your security level settings, on the Tools menu, point to Macro, and
then click Security. To disable the hyperlink warnings in Office 2003 when
an HTTP:// or an FTP:// address is used, you must create a new registry subkey.
To do this, follow these steps.
