I have a mapped network drive, on which I store some programs, one of which I've put in my startup folder.
Unfortunately, this program "does not have a valid digital signature", which means that every time I reboot, I get a security dialog, asking me whether to run it.
I would prefer not to have to copy this program to the local disk.
How can I disable this prompt?

Ok, I found the solution.

If your Internet Settings are tied down (as mine are), but you have access to the exe, you can try the following in a command prompt:
move oldName.exe > newName type newName > oldName.exe
That will remove the stuff that causes Windows to care, which, I think, is stored in an alternate data stream.

Thanks, that worked even if I can't change settings in Internet Options – rofrol – 2017-01-02T22:37:13.250
But probably there is mistake. This worked for me move oldName.exe newName and type newName > oldName.exe – rofrol – 2017-05-15T10:16:39.840

The top answer didn't work for me I had to change a different setting in the same panel.
What I changed was: From Go to Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security -> Local Intranet -> Sites -> Advanced (Same as above) In the "Local Intranet" settings window I unchecked "automatically detect intranet" and checked "include all network paths" which will work for me in my virtual environment.

You can use "automatically detect intranet" and then add the UNC path in the format of "file:\sharename" (if letters are mapped to this location, should work for them too)

I disagree; all syntax variations in the "accepted answer" failed. This syntax works. – Trevor Textor – 2017-04-11T15:28:20.330
Disagree all you like. At the end of the day, the accepted answer got 39 upvotes and a check mark. All you got is a downvote. It means that answer worked and yours did not. – None – 2017-04-12T05:13:48.030
It's an important metric, however, I have found them to be either false or only containing part of the answer. Most of the time I must scroll down and see if someone addressed the errors in the original answer. What you are referring to is an Argumentum ad populum "... a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition is true because many or most people believe it: 'If many believe so, it is so.'" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum

1@matt wilkie To add a whole folder (in this case, the root folder), you should have to specify a wildcard at the target directory. So, it should look like
X:\*. At least, this was the case in my experience. – Bret – 2016-03-01T19:27:54.973For the sysadmins wondering what Reg Key is:

It works on XP too. – Matt – 2013-01-05T12:16:40.777

When mapping the drive, yes. – Blorgbeard is out – 2009-11-15T19:52:10.117
Something may have changed (April 2014). The dialog won't let me add a drive letter, e.g.
– matt wilkie – 2014-04-11T05:09:02.013X:\andX:andfile://X:all result in "you have entered an invalid wildcard sequence" (screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/um529J4.png) (Win7 Home Premium x64)Is X actually a network drive? I just tested (win7 enterprise) - works for me with a mapped drive, but I get your error with a physical drive. – Blorgbeard is out – 2014-04-11T05:13:15.160
