How do I define a set of files as Trusted?

Question

I'm using InDesign CS5 to create an interactive pdf containing hundreds of hyperlinks to htm files. When its done, both the pdf and the linked files will be supplied on a CD.
With CS3, I had to create the pdf in InDesign and then add the hyperlinks using Acrobat. However, once made, those links open up the htm files instantly. Now, with CS5, I make the hyperlinks in InDesign (which is the main reason I upgraded). But -- everytime I click on the link in the pdf file I get a Security Warning and must individually Allow every file. My version of Acrobat hasn't changed, so this feature must somehow be created by InDesign when it generates the pdf file. What must I do to make it go away?

The bit that Steve is missing (he's completely right, of course) is simply mentioning that that it matters to Acrobat whether you make the link in Acrobat or in ID. When you made the links in Acrobat, you were linking to files, not web pages, right? I see three options in Acrobat links, to link to a page view, a file, or a web page. If I make a link to a web page in Acrobat, I get a security warning. However, if I make a link to a local file in Acrobat, I don't get a security warning.
When I make hyperlinks in CS5, I can point them to a wider variety of destinations (file, url, text anchor, etc.) but if I make any hyperlink that points outside of the PDF, I always get a security warning. And, if I choose, I can change my own settings in Acrobat to get it to treat files I've linked to as trusted, which keeps that Security Warning window from appearing.
The kicker is that I'm changing my own settings in my own install of Acrobat. These are preferences for the Acrobat program on my hard drive, not for the PDF that I am working on. I know of no way to cause someone else's install of Acrobat to automatically start trusting your links to your files on your CD. In fact, that would be a huge security hole, if Adobe let a PDF define certain links as "Always Allow" if the user had set their Acrobat to "Always Ask."
