Clint, I'm writing about the downloading. Maybe you know this and I'm just misunderstanding you but as far as I can tell the only files that the Authenticode things pops up on are files downloaded with IE. I've tested it on my computer and anything downloaded with a program other then IE does not get an Authenticode dialog when you try to run it. Somehow IE is marking the file and generating the Authenticode thing. Even if you move those files to another computer, if they were originally downloaded with IE, you get Authenticode. At least that's the way it works on mine.

How do you disable Authenticode in XP SP2? I guess I should have pointed in my reply to Hugh, that's not the *DOWNLOADING* I have a problem with. The problem I mentioned is with files ON my computer, on my HD. It is these I can't open without that annoying irritating Authenticode prompt. So, does the newest version of FF you're using allow the Windows Taskbar to hover/show in full screen mode like in IE, or is it still disabled? -Clint Happy Holidays to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Moore" Use another browser and quit downloading stuff with Internet Explorer. Or use a file download manager like Getright or something. Those are the only ways I've found. I'm just about ready to switch to Mozilla Firefox. I really like the latest version . I'm afraid you're going to have to get used to that ".NET garbage." I resisted it at first too, but I'm seeing more and more apps that require it to be installed before they will work. Ben Moore -----Original Message----- Support-OrpheusComputing.com I'm PAST the point of being FED UP with every file I try to open giving me this BS about "do you want to run this file?" cr*p. YES, I want to run it, if I wouldn't have, I WOULD NOT HAVE CLICKED IT! I'm sick of having to click every file twice instead of once to read it. It happens with .exe's, .reg, .vbs, etc. etc. M$ and their continuous unrelenting nagging prompts can go to hell. FYI, http://blogs.msdn.com/tonyschr/archive/2004/03/21/93430.aspx . My dialog box doesn't look like that, I don't have all those buttons. All I have is "Run", "Cancel", and of course when I keep UNCHECKING the @[EMAIL PROTECTED]&! box for "Always ask before opening this file", that evidently only works for THAT file! As usual, a search on this also gives no results AT ALL. Not a single hit on how to "disable authenticode". I even went so far as to add "My Computer" to the Internet Zones, allowing EVERYTHING in its zone, and setting everything to "Enable". Didn't work. I even checked all the boxes in Internet Options regarding running active content on the PC. Also didn't work. In other searches for "disable authenticode" with NO quotes, I see that .NET may have to be installed to disable it, and I'm not installing that .NET garbage. There's got to be a way of stopping this harassment. -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
