I've just set up a small home server, and I'm getting a "These files might be harmful to your computer" message whenever accessing files on it. The solution I've found is to edit my internet options and add the server's IP to a trusted list, but the "Sites" button is grayed out, so I'm unable to edit it:

Disable "These files might be harmful to your computer" warning?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

Found the solution on this site: http://www.winhelponline.com/xp/ie/flags.htm

open regedit, go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1

find the "Flags" item, and whatever value is there, add "3" to it (i.e. if it's 0, change to 3; if it's 8, change to 11, etc) -- this enables both the "Sites" and "Custom settings" buttons

Then you can simply follow the steps in this solution to disable the notification for your server: Disable "These files might be harmful to your computer" warning?
