Running executable files on network drives[MOVED FROM WINDOWS]

Lord Chaos · 05-03-2009, 03:33 AM

I am running a program from a network drive, but every time you start it up, it will ask for permission to run. I've tried adding the servers IP to the trusted zone, but that doesn't seem to work. (maybe doing it wrong)

Anyone have any suggestions to avoid having to do this every time?

I see you're using both XP and Vista, are you asking this question using XP (I assume so since you posted in the XP forum, but I'm just making sure)?

Yes, this is for XP SP3

Though the same question goes for Vista too, because it does the same thing and probably has the same solution.

TJ Belfiore · 05-03-2009, 04:46 AM

Well, in Vista.. have you even tried? That would eliminate it being a global issue and narrow it down to XP. Right-Click > "Run as Administrator" on Vista. See what happens.

Lord Chaos · 05-03-2009, 04:54 AM

It does the same thing, it still asks "Do you want to run this file", then I can select Run or Cancel.

Thats what I am trying to eliminate.

TJ Belfiore · 05-03-2009, 06:02 AM

Oh, that's the UAC. Here.

As for disabling the security in XP (NOT called UAC), I don't know, so I'd wait for more responses on this thread, so consider this a free bump. Good luck.

No no, thats not UAC (I have UAC disabled). Its only something that comes up when you run executable files off a network drive. Local executable files runs fine without any such pop-up.

TJ Belfiore · 05-03-2009, 06:31 AM

Eh, then I'm not sure what the problem could be, have you tried extracting them to your desktop (I really don't understand what you're saying, lol. It's not your fault, I'm just not aware of this, I thought you said "removable drives")

Lord Chaos · 05-03-2009, 07:04 AM

Its always been like this, its standard on all windows. If you run an executable from a networked drive, then it will ask if you want to run it, instead of just running it like it does on local or removable drives.

I know this is supposed to be able to be disabled somewhere in trusted zone options or adding it there, but its not really working for me. Could just be the wrong thing I am inputting or something.

Hello,

I see what you are asking here, you want to know if you can disable the popup
in vista windows from asking everytime "Run with Administratives priviledges", when you are opening a file to execute, Im not sure that you can though, just trying to clarify what Im understanding from your post.

Lord Chaos · 05-03-2009, 07:34 AM

I want executable files to behave the same when run from networked drives as they do from a local drive. So yes, getting rid of the "Do you want to run this file?" dialogue screen.

Its not a UAC issue, this is something that happens on all Windows versions (XP, Vista or whatever)

Lord Chaos · 05-12-2009, 06:29 AM

Its been a good while now, so I am bumping this thread. (I think thats allowed?)

Does anyone know the answer to this question on how to get rid of the confirmation box every time you run an executable file off a mounted network drive? (doesn't happen with local drive executables and its not UAC)

I believe its something about trusted zones or something, but not sure.

Lord Chaos · 05-16-2009, 09:32 AM

Anyone know the answer to this?

TJ Belfiore · 05-16-2009, 01:13 PM

You mean..

Disable Delete Conformation Box
Disable Uninstall Confirmation Box

I don't know why'd there'd be one - I think that's a UAC issue. You could always disable UAC, this might help.

Lord Chaos · 05-16-2009, 02:05 PM

It can't be an UAC issue, XP doesn't have UAC and I have UAC disabled in Vista.

Its ONLY when running executable files from a NETWORKED mapped drive.

Its a bit like the confirmation box you get when running files off the internet asking if you want to run the file.

TJ Belfiore · 05-16-2009, 02:08 PM

LOL - I thought this was Vista (I forgot this was subscribed..and I only post in Vista now..and..eh.. long story...).

me4net · 05-16-2009, 05:06 PM

The best way to do this is get the file to run as a seprate admin user. Can be a local account. What is it you are trying to run.

Lord Chaos · 05-18-2009, 04:29 PM

I am an admin user and it doesn't matter what account I run them at.

Its *ANY* executable file that does this regardless of whether its Vista or XP. And it only does so on networked drives.

**lorjack** · 05-21-2009, 10:01 AM

I don't think that you can disable it. It is how it functions when running a remote program. If you don't mind me asking why is it a big deal? I run stuff off of my network drive all the time and it always asks for a confirmation.
