I get "We can't verify who created this file" for every PPT or PPTX file I open on my local network (Win 7 only, not Win 8)

I've searched around, and perhaps I've missed it, but I have a specific problem that just started today (4/1/2014).  I have 3 PCs in a local home network and they all have been sharing things fine so far.  PC1 is my main storage computer (Windows
7), another is a laptop (Windows 7) and a third is a laptop (Windows 8.1). 
On the Windows 7 laptop, when I open Windows Explorer and navigate my way to a file I want to open (which is stored on PC1) and double click on the file to open it USED to just open using the right program (PowerPoint2007) which I have fully installed on
the Win 7 laptop.  Note also that "Microsoft Office (2010)" came pseudo-loaded on the laptop, but I have set the default for all PPT and PPTX files to be opened using PowerPoint2007.  I've had a few hiccups in the past where this undesired,
not-fully-loaded version tries to get in the way of me opening files with PowerPoint2007, but right now all files are set to open using PowerPoint2007.
So I'm not going on the internet, I'm not using IE, and this is only happening with PPT and PPTX files and only on my Win 7 laptop.  DOC/DOCX and XLS/XLSX files open fine with the 2007 version of the Word and Excel respectively.  All files, including
the PPT and PPTX files on PC1 are openable without trouble on the Win8 laptop with PowerPoint2007.
Any idea why this would suddenly start happening? 

Sorry, I should have said that I'm having this issue on Win7 Enterprise SP1 and not XP.
I'm having trouble understanding how cacheing is related to how windows resolves this security violation, and why changing the Internet's custom security settings makes the caching problem go away? You are correct in that running a mdb file from
the desktop does not produce the warning; however this is a database housed on a shared drive so that the database is accessable to other users...
unfortunately unblock is not presented as an option in the file properties, and even if it was that seems a bit impractical to do for every single zip file on a share drive which would accumulate more files as multiple users add to it.
Also: I have two computers with the same settings in both the trusted sites and the Launch apps, but one opens fine and the other does not.

  • Warning when trying to launch application over mapped drive "We can't verify who created this file. Are you sure you want to run this file?"

    We have 2 load balanced application servers that map drives with programs on them for users from a central server that are giving the warning "We can't verify who created this file. Are you sure you want to run this file?". Basically how it works
    is a user logs in to one or the other application servers (for example, 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2) and runs a log on script that maps an L:\ drive to the users folder on the central storage server (10.0.0.100). When the user goes to launch the .exe from the L:\
    drive it presents that warning.
    I've looked around and have seen recommendations that you need to add the site to the local intranet zone for IE, but when I try to add L:\ it tells me that I have entered an invalid sequence. It appears that you can only put network shares in that location,
    which is not how we're mapping the drive.
    Has anyone run in to this before and knows how to resolve it?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    A mapped drive letter is not supported so please try to input \\server or \\server\folder to see if it will help. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • HT6065 After upgrading to OS X Mavericks v 10.9.1, keep getting "safari can't verify the identity of the website" and asks to show certificate, cancel or continue.  Is anyone else having this issue?

    Hello.  Just upgraded to OS X Mavericks v 10.9.1.  Now I keep getting "safari can't verify the identity of the website" error.  I looked for other updates, but none are available. Am I doing something wrong?  Didn't do this before the upgrade, now I can't seem to log into anything through safari.

    Most websites are checked to make sure they do not contain viruses or that they are properly encrypted.  If safari cannot identify a website's ceritificate, check if other browers do the same thing (make sure they are up to date browsers), if they all say it cannot be verified, then the site was probably hijacked and you should run a full scan of your computer for viruses, unless the page was blocked by safari and redirected to something that said fraudulent webstie detected.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • How do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes? Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message.....".

    When I start iTunes, how do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message....."

    Does this apply?

  • How we create Schema group for every vendor?

    If we have multiple vendors/transporters, how you configure pricing procedure for each vendor what is the process of creating Schema group for every vendor?
    Thanks in advance
    Suresh

    hi suresh,
    you create Pricing procedure, and then you create Vendor schema group; and purchasing schea group.
    for your scenario you will create N number of vendor schema groups.
    follow this menu path:
    spro --> materials management --> purchasing --> conditions --> define price determination process --> Define schema determination --> define caluculation schema for standard purchase orders -->
    in that screen:
    you maintain entries in the combination of
    purchasing org schema group  -- vendor schema group -- pricing procedure.
    for your scenario, you maintain N number of vendor schema groups and assign it to procing procedure.
    hope this may help you,
    Regards
