    These files might be harmful to your computer message(desktop)


    Ah, my mistake with the \ and /.
    Folder now moved as suggested and problem now solved. No idea how this happened.
    However.................if I now move a file to the recycle bin and want to restore it back to its original location, I am being prompted with this one now.....

  3. "These files might be harmful to your computer" - between local disks

    The User Account Control setting only takes effect on your own computer, how you are making changes to the files on another computer the solution for this warning is to add the IP of the server to the trusted list in the Internet Options. You can see how to do it at these links.

    How to turn off Security popup "These files might be harmful to your computer"

    I am having a strange security popup. The error occurs when copying files from one folder to another folder on a mapped network drive. If I have (2) File Explorer windows open and try to drag and drop copy/paste from one file explorer window directory to another directory on the same mapped drive, I get a Windows Security popup stating "These files might be harmful to your computer" ""Your internet security settings suggest that one or more files may be harmful. Do you want to use it anyway?" I can click OK and it will copy the files, but the popup is annoying when doing this activity often.

    If I only use (1) Windows File Explorer window and copy the files from one directory and then navigate to the new directory on the same mapped drive, the files will paste without the Windows Security popup.

    What do I need to do to fix this?
