Disable 'These Files Might Harm Your Computer'

This error can happen when you mount a network drive in Windows 7/8/10 when you try to perform an operation on files or folders on the mounted drive.

To disable, follow these instructions:

  1. Bring up the start menu
  2. Type Internet Options
  3. Open Internet Options
  4. Go to the Security tab
  5. Select Local intranet to modify LAN Network settings
  6. Click the Sites button
  7. Click Advanced on the window that opens up
  8. Here you add exceptions. You can either add the exact IP address of your file server (recommended) or add an exception for your entire LAN network.

    a. To add an exception that covers multiple hosts, use a star * wildcard.

    For 192.168.1.1/24 you would put 192.168.1.*

  9. After adding the server in this menu, click Close and click OK

  10. You will have to disconnect and reconnect to the file server before the trust is realized.
