What do you do for scanning from withing Filepro

[Brian K. White]

I was just looking in to this, and I see on my win 7 laptop
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet 
Explorer\ProtocolExecute\as\WarnOnOpen REG_DWORD

That extra "\as\" directory suggests to me that it probably asked to 
remember the user preference the first time.

There's a couple others in there too for "citrixonline"

But that's win7 and regular ie not edge.
