message 'hyperlink can be harmful warning..etc...'
 

When I clink on a 'hyperlink' within an Excel Spreadsheet, the following
warning comes up.....

"Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To protect your
computer, click only those hyperlinks from trusted sources. Do you want to
continue?"

I would like to know how to STOP this message from coming up...[I know the
dangers I dont wish to have to click on Yes or No every time I click a link]

I share your frustration, but as yet I have found no way to keep MS from
protecting us from ourselves with this "feature". Macro Security Level has no
effect, there is no setting in the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, Options is
barren of any reference to it... I don't know where else to look.

Hopefully a fix will turn up |:)

Oh, heck, it's not too long:

===========

I find this message only appears for the new Excel 2003. So if that's the
version you have you can block the warning with a registry entry.

From Start-Run enter "Regedit" without quotes and press Enter.

Navigate to this key in the left panel:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\Security

If you do not have a Security key under Common (I didn't) create it by
right-clicking on Common and picking New and Key. Give it the name
Security.

After creating Security, select it in the left panel and in the empty right
panel right-click anywhere and select New and Dword value. Give it the
name: DisableHyperlinkWarning

and press Enter. This entry will have the value 0. Double-click it and
change the value to 1 and press Enter.

You can close Regedit. And Excel 2003 should not give the warning any
more.
