Microsoft Office has identifed a potential security concern

[Robert]

Hello,
I created an hyperlink between a Project Std 2007 task and a Word document,
but when I click on it to open the document, I get the warning:
______________________________
Microsoft Office Project Security Notice
Microsoft Office has identifed a potential security concern.
This location may be unsafe.
Specifications.docx
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?
_______________________________
How can I get rid of the warning?
Thanks for your help

You can't. This is one of Microsoft's attempts at protecting you from
malicious viruses! Once you've seen the message a few times you will click
Ok automatically so rendering the message pointless!@##@!

If you do have a word document from someone who may have poor security, Open
the word document from disk with the shift key held down. This prevents any
auto_open macro from running keeping you safe.

Rod,
I have tried this, that works !
---------------------------------------------------------
The feature can be turned off via the registry:

1. Open the registry editor

2. Browse to the following location in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common
3. If the Security key already exists under the Common key, then
select it.
If it doesn't exist already then create it via:
Edit-> New-> Key
4. Here create a new DWORD Value via
Edit-> New-> DWORD Value

Value name: DisableHyperlinkWarning
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

When this key is set to 0 or is missing, the security warning
will show again.
You might need to restart your computer for changes to take effect.
