XPe Service Pack 2 Security
Hi,
I am trying to run an executable on a thin client PC that unfortunately isn't digitally signed. This executable will run successfully on XP Pro SP2 and XPe SP1, but with XPe SP2, I get an alert "The publisher could not be verified", and I need to click OK to run the program. Problem is, I need the program to run automatically when the PC starts up - the publisher probably will not bother with digitally signing as support for this product is being ceased soon. Is there anything I can do to trust this executable such that the warning message doesn't crop up??? |

XPe Service Pack 2 Security
Steven,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, being an XPe machine, I cannot run gpedit locally. However, I managed to run the console from a networked PC, only to find that attachment manager doesn't exist on the XPe box Any other ideas??? "Steven L Umbach" wrote: Try opening local Group Policy [gpedit.msc] and go to user configuration/administrative templates/Windows components/attachment manager - inclusion list for low file types and add the file's extension to the list. Of course keep in mind that will allow any file with that extension to run on your computer without any prompt. --- Steve "D Fisher" D wrote in message news Hi, I am trying to run an executable on a thin client PC that unfortunately isn't digitally signed.

You could try a direct registry mod using regedit in HKCU and go to
software\Microsoft\Windows\currentversion\policies . Add a new key for Associations if one is not present and then to that key add a string value for LowRiskFileTypes and for the value data add .exe if that is the file extension you want to exclude. --- Steve "D Fisher" wrote in message ...
