    My question is that how can I get rid of that annoying notification, when I am transfering files from my computer to our local network drives or from them to my own computer?

    I can't change "Internet options" - they are all "locked".

    Neither changing "User account control settings" will help; notifiaction persist even if on its lowest setting.

    My computer doesn't have any group policies or anything like that, I am the single user/admin, I have just yesterday performed clean install of Windows 10 Pro.


    Any advice?

    :)

    Get rid of: Warning: "These files may be harmful to your computer"


    Thank you again. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmartScreenEnabled is off.
    Total Commander sounds like a decent idea. Does it copy & sync between different computers on a LAN?

    By the way, I don't think I ever posted the exact error message:

    These files might be harmful to your computer; how to get rid of the notification when... [​IMG]
    I erased the actual computer name, but it suggests that it's in the Internet Options rather than the Intranet Options. I don't know why that would be.

    It's FreeCommander, and yes as you can see, that Z: was mapped drive but you can use UNC path too:

    Regarding error msg, it may suggest

    - either to use mapped drive instead of UNC path
    - or try to place affected files to different shared folder than Application Data.

    Do not worry about Internet/Intranet. Completely wrong terminology, these terms do not apply to files at SMB shares at all.

    (SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

    Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

    Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.
