Windows scripting of filepro startup files

[George Simon]

I think this problem or annoyance has been around for quite a while.
What you need to do is add the server as a trusted site in Internet Explorer.
Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Internet Options > Security Tab > Trusted Sites > Sites > Add server to trusted sites.

Not that I've heard.

Well, my first suggestion would be to not use IE to run batch files.

I have no problems with batch files on my Vista laptop, regardless of how I 
start them, with the exception of using a web browser.  (Firefox shows me 
the contents of the file.  Safari opens the batch file's directory, with the 
batch file highlighted.  IE7 gives me the security warning before letting me 
run it.)

My suggestion, as I state above, is to not use a web browser to run a batch 
file.  Can you explain why you are using this method?  Perhaps there is some 
other piece of information missing from your description?
