I keep getting response windows that say "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?" when I try to run many of my programs - especially those I have written in Visual C++ 6. Is there a way to turn these warnings off?

Try this:

1. Click Start -> Run and enter gpedit.msc
2. Expand User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Attachment Manager
3. Open Inclusion list for moderate risk file types and add *.exe
4. Now try again to run your executables! :)

Thanks! It worked, even though the explanation given there makes it sound like maybe it belonged in the low risk section. I never would have looked under "Attachment Manager" to accomplish this!

As atariguy mentioned I just added ".exe" to "Inclusion list for low risk file types" and it worked like charm.

Thanks all!
