I decided I would just have a logon script copy it to everyone's appdata folder and then have a shortcut that runs it from there. Works well enough for me.

I have an HTA used to simplify certain tasks for users. When run on the local PC it opens with no problems, but I want to do is have only a shortcut on the local PC that points to this HTA on a server. When I try to run the HTA from a network drive via the shortcut I get the "Publisher could not be verified" message. Is there an easy way around this? It opens fine, but how can I get ride of that security warning, do I have to sign it or something?

I "fixed" this by enabling launching of applications and unsafe files for the internet zone. Obviously this is not a solution. Also, why does this HTA fall under the "internet zone" when it is a file on a network share. I would expect it to be in the local intranet zone.

I discovered another issue. While trying to use the HTA I got this error: "safety settings on this computer prohibit accessing a data source on another domain"- I'm using ADO in the HTA to query AD. Is there any way to run this in the local internet zone or in a way where it is not subjected to the internet zone security settings?

I would suggest that rather than using a network share, you use a standard shortcut with the FQDN for the file - that should bring it within the Intranet Zone (I think!). -- Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth
