On one computer (windows 7) we get the following error when trying to move a file into a child folder which is contained on a network drive. We have tried Admin of Domain, Making the user admin, lowering IE permissions, and still, nothing works.

To Reproduce:

  1. Open networked folder in Windows Explorer
  2. Drag File in \EDI\test.txt to \EDI\Archive\
  3. A message pops up "These files might be harmful to your computer".
  4. Click OK and it moves.

This is not an error but a security warning.

Your computer most likely does not trust on your network or just the NAS. May be because you accessed by IP.

Since you clicked "Ok", I assume you trust that device. You can disable this warnings therefore.

  • Click Start / Control Panel / Internet Options
  • Click Security tab.
  • Click Local Intranet
  • Click Sites button.
  • Click Advanced button.
  • Enter the IP Address of the other machine or server (wildcards are allowed) and click Add
  • Click Close, then OK, then OK again.
  • Disconnect, and reconnect the network drive
