Every shortcut placed to the Links bar (C:\Users\user_name\Favorites\Links) shows this security warning:
Open File - Security Warning Name ... Type: Shortcut ... files from Internet etc.
I can place to this directory shortcut to any program, to IE, Windows Explorer etc. - this security warning is always shown, when the shortcut is executed. How to get rid of this?
OS: Windows 7 Professional Edition.

first we have "turning off protected mode for the whole zone"

^ Overkill, which just leaves , disconnecting that folder from a zone in the registry, so you can leave the rest protected normally but exclude that folder? Or, changing the security level for that folder?

The best working solution can be found here:
Run cmd.exe as Administrator.
Type the following command and press Enter
ICACLS "C:\Users\user_name\Favorites\Links" /Setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M

@Psycogeek: This is an old post, but please consider adding the essential information from the links so it isn't a link-only answer. Thanks. – fixer1234 – 2015-03-18T17:33:48.007
1Thanks! There are two working solutions in the second link, I used more secure: Run cmd as adminintrator, execute: 1. cd %userprofile%\favorites 2. icacls links /setintegritylevel (CI)low – Alex F – 2011-09-30T16:22:07.810
