Desktop and startup shortcuts produce security warning

I have a laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro with all updates installed. It's a domain member and the primary user was using redirected folders which worked well. Due to other reasons, the user's account was removed from the OU linked to with the redirected folders
GPO. open file security warning The GPO was setup for Desktop and My Documents so that when the policy was removed the files would revert to the local PC. For some odd reason the Favorites was not that way but configured to leave them on the server. I discovered
that only after the user's account had been moved out of that OU and the laptop rebooted and the user logged in.
So the user got her desktop and documents folders back just fine. But even though I changed the GPO to revert the Favorites back to the local PC of course it didn't even after I rebooted a few more times. So when the Favorites icon in IE was clicked,
favo0rites were still pointing to the server. I had to go through the registry and change the entries for that user's profile to point to the proper folder on the local PC.
However after I did that then something else showed up. Now when she clicks on the IE shortcut which is pinned to the taskbar or any application shortcut on the desktop or when she logs in and the startup program run, they all produce the Open File - Security
Warning box so she has to click OK for each one. I've tried looking up this problem but none of the fixes work for this case or I'm not going to lower the IE security.
Oddly, the Microsoft Office shortcuts pinned on the taskbar don't produce the security window but open up the program. It only seems to happen with shortcuts to programs that I create. Also I can take those shortcuts, copy them to another folder outside
of the user's profile and there is no security warning. So it's only within the profile that this happens.
Anyone have an idea what is wrong and how to fix it? I don't see how my changing the path to the Favorites folder in a few places in the registry could have done this but I don't see what else since it didn't occur until after I made the registry changes.

Why not use RegShot to capture registry changes after favorites folder was modified.

Disable desktop and startmenu shortcuts

Dear,
i need to disable auto creation for desktop and startmenu shortcuts on my air applications. how to do that please.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
We have experienced this also with 7.20 PL7 but I think it was just the Bex 3.x shortcuts that were missing from the Start Menu. I can check if you like?
We are going to package our apps and will probably change the location of the shortcuts anyway so were just going to create the shortcuts and menu structure as part of the apps packaging.
Maybe a bug with SAPGUI 7.20 install though!

I GET A SECURITY WARNING RIGHT AWAY-UNENCRYPTED CONNECTION. WHAT DO I DO?

WHEN I CLICK FIREFOX ON MY DESKTOP, I IMMEDIATELY GET A SECURITY WARNING (ALTHOUGH THIS PAGE IN ENCRYPTED, THE INFO YOU HAVE ENTERED IS TO BE SENT OVER AN UNENCRYPTED CONNECTION AND COULD EASILY BE READ BY A 3RD PARTY. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? MY OPTIONS ARE TO CONTINUE OR CANCEL. IF I CANCEL I CAN'T GET IN. DOES THIS MEAN WHEN I USE FIREFOX AS MY BROWSER OTHERS CAN READ IT AND GET MY INFO (CREDIT CARD, ETC).

It is not up to date, download from getfirefox.com and run the installer.

App.opendoc does not display security warning window like e.g. "open a file" function?

When I link from one PDF to the other via "open a file" function (both PDFs are located in %userprofile%/mydocuments directory), Reader X and XI open a security warning box. If I agree to open the target file, this specific file always opens without displaying the warning again.
When I link to the same file via app.opendoc, the security warning box does not open. So I do not get a chance to add the target file to the list of trusted files.
Is there any way to motivate app.opendoc to display security warning boxes due to the new sandboxing technology in Reader >= X? So that I get a chance to add the target PDF to the trusted PDFs?

Is there any chance that the application is being run from Developer Suite? In other words, is Developer Suite installed on the client machine and hosting the app?
Regardless, although anything is possible, I have never heard of what you are describing. In all cases, the dialog box should be the java dialog which is a grayish/purple color. The exact color will vary depending on the JRE version you are using.
If my first point is not the case, I would recommend that you consider using WebUtil 10.1.2.2 and also patch the AS environment to the same version. To get WebUtil to 10.1.2.2, you will need to patch a Developer Suite home and copy frmwebutil.jar to the AS home. After patching, I believe you will also find an updated webutil.pll in the DevSuite \forms directory which will also need to be copied then compiled on the deployment server.
Also, ensure that you are using Jinitiator 1.3.1.26 or newer. If you are using the Sun JRE, be sure you are using a certified/supported version. For example, you can use the latest 1.5.x Sun JRE with Forms 10.1.2.2, which is 1.5.0_15

Open File - Security Warning box appears for several app on the desktop [solved]

Hello,
After googling around, I found why I get this warning, how it happens, how to manually fix it but I don't know how to prevent it.
I got this warning when desktop integrity level drop to "low".
Desktop integrity drop to "low" when launching IE (V9) with no network connection and the favorites folder has been redirected to a file server. If the favorites folder is not redirected, desktop integrity level remains the same.
To fix it :
icacls %\username%\desktop /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M
But how can I prevent Windows (IE ?) from changing desktop integrity level ? I add the unc path of the file server hosting the favorites folders to the intranet zone to no avail.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Thanks for your reply.
You never met this message, did you set folder redirection for your users ? Here you can find other people having this message
http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=open+file+security+warning+desktop+integrity+level
I don't think process monitor or explorer will help because I already know the culprit : IE. If you read my message again, I need to tell IE : if the favorites folder is not accessible, don't modify my local desktop folder integrity level.
Regards
Chris

Ignore that warning. Report it to the Website Developers of the websites on which you are seeing this message. Ask them to deploy Secure HTTP Connection. And use secure Websites (https) addresses.

What is the content of that security warning?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

How do I take a Server path and create it into a desktop, as a shortcut that points to the server?

I understand that when I use keyboard shortcut command- K key this is a shortcut to connect to a server. What I'm trying to accomplish is to make the path of the server a desktop icon. I understand that I can drag the folder to the desktop and it will copy that folder. This is a very large file I want to create a path that point to the server. Can anyone explain this process to me as I've searched numerous blogs and other resources.

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

I am trg to open a PDF and I am getting a security warning that says allow cancel or block and then it says it needs a signature to open the document I have never had this problem before it is on a public document I am trying to view any help is apperciat

I am trying to open a PDF in and I am getting a security warning that says block , close , or allow and then it still will not open then it says it needs a signature it is a public document any help is appreciated thank you in advance sorry this is my first time on here

I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you sure it want a "signature" and not "password"? If it asks you for password then the document is encrypted and you need to know the password toopen it. The fact that it is a "public" PDF, whatever you mean by "public" does not mean anything. If it is not that then:
Which product are you using, which version (including minor), which platform (Win/Mac), which OS/version? Please, include screenshots of the alerts, warnings that you get.

Firefox gives me a security warning when I open web sites and I don't want it to.

I access a providers web site daily and when I go in I get a box message that their is a security warning that I have to get rid of before going any further. This happens to sites I go to everyday and I don't know how to stop this.

To whomever sent me the question about screen shots (by the way I could not respond to the email nor will it show me your response on this screen)
I couldn't screen shot it but I did copy:
Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?

Invisible Startup Disk Icon on Desktop and Finder

Today suddenly I found that my Startup disk icon was gone from the desktop and from the Finder. I did some searching and found the following solution that may be useful for someone else:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=4932292#post4932292
I pasted the solution below:
from a Terminal window, type:
ls -lOd /
(That's lowercase ell, lowercase ess, space, minus, lowercase ell, capital oh, lowercase dee, space, forward slash)
You should get something like this:
hostname:~ username$ ls -lOd /
drwxrwxr-t 32 root admin - 1156 Feb 8 20:35 /
Sounds like you might see something like this instead:
hostname:~ username$ ls -lOd /
drwxrwxr-t@ 32 root admin hidden 1156 Feb 8 20:35 /
(note it says "hidden" instead of "-")
To fix this, type:
sudo chflags nohidden /
and provide your admin password. You won't get any output back from the command but the icon should now appear on your desktop, and the hidden flag should go away if you repeat the 'ls -lOd /' command.
And just in case you missed it above, you've got to be sure Hard disks are turned on in Finder General Preferences under "Show these items on the Desktop"

A few days after trying the solution in my previous post, I realized that the Startup disk icon was still missing from Devices in the Finder's sidebar.
So, following some advice from other forums, I went and deleted com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist from homedirectory/library/preferences. Then did a control-option-click on Finder in the Dock and chose "relaunch".
So this completed the fix. Coincidentally this also fixed a "freeze" issue that I was having.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are reports of TV Shows missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple.

Desktop and mouse jumping during startup

When starting the computer, the screens and mouse jump all over the place and switches screens.

I have a Powermac G5-I only have in the computer what was factory installed. The computer is a little over 5 years old. The problem started after I booted up and logged in. My desktop and pointer were frozen. I could not escape and I tried to shut down doing a force quit. No Luck. I eventually had to unplug the computer from the wall. Upon restarting the computer, when it came on, all I got was a gray screen with the Apple logo. After about a minute of this, The internal cooling fans would come on full blast. I also tried booting from the start-up disk (I had to install the disk manually, because the drive would not respond to the key command) with no luck. I have taken it to the Mac store. Their conclusion was it could be the motherboard or the CPU's, but they weren't certain either. Do you think it could be possible that it's not the CPU or Logicboard? The expense for replacing both, almost doesn't make it worth it. Any ideas?

Security warning wants to install certification for a remote computer

Every bootup, before opening anything, i get a Security Warning that a "oracle" certificate wants to install for a remote computer to access my machine. I always click no, having no idea what this is, and I certainly do not want to allow a remote computer to access. I have screen shots of the details but I don't see how to attach a jpg here. I've searched the registry and startup items and nothing resembles my issue. Please note this does not occur when opening IE or FF, but as soon as Windows loads the desktop screen, as if the registry is triggering this cert.

Many thanks. I am somewhat experienced in editing the registry, and know where all the 'run' and 'runonce' strings are located. I have searched them all. I have also searched the reg for terms used in the security warning. I've run CC cleaner, malwarebytes, norton security, and two online security sites, and they call come back normal. No problems.
But I reboot and there is the warning, telling me that an Oracle certificate wants to install to enable a remote computer access. Of course I click NO, but I cannot find how to kill the beast.

Importing fdf with js always get security warning

Hi, I have a form with some options (1 category as text with drop down and 5 radio button). The selection get the name of the fdf file to import. On import I get every time the security warning. I select the "Remember this action..." and I click "Allow". In the Settings/Security (Enhanced) the path and the file doesn't appear, so I set it manually, but I still get the security warning everytime. Files are stored locally in a different partion as the system. This happens on 2 machines (Mac 10.7, Mac10.8, Acrobat X, ACrobat XI, Reader XI).
this is the script
var A = "/Volumes/Data_Sharing/Projects/.../.../.../";
var B = getField("Category").valueAsString;
var C = "-okom-data.fdf";
var D = A + B + C;
var E = this.getField("Text1");
E.value = D;
this.importAnFDF(D);
The field Text1 is only a string visualisation for controlling
If I set an Import Data Event without js I don't have any security warning with fdf (but always with xfdf, xml and text files).
If you know what I miss, thanks for any suggestion
Curzio

Unfortunately i dont think its possible.
You'd think a deployment could restrict warnings for a local intranet, or have an exception list.
There was another answer i did see but i would not recommend this at all. Even the person who put the post up does not recommend it.

You have two options, do not have java 1.6 on the desktop as this is the version that brings up the security warning. Or you can try the new
application with java 1.6 (As long as all functionality is tested). This will satisfy your new app, but not the applications that run of the older
java runtime environments. (we are going to test the application under 1.6 even though its not a supported certification by the vendor.)
