The other way that works is to add the UNC for the file server
(file://server/share) to the Trusted Sites, under 
User Config / Windows Settings / IE Maintenance /Security / Security Zones
and Content ratings

Now that I look, there's the setting you're trying to change - which is why
it probably didn't work with a template.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Group policy security setting

This is driving me nuts....

I'm trying to set up a W2K3 SP1 terminal server machine, managed by group
policy, that will allow users to run certain apps that actually load from
another server. Here's the problem...

When I try and launch one of those apps, I get the security warning box
"open file - security warning" "Are you sure you want to run this software?"
I finally figured out how to disable it; in IE properties, security, trusted
sites, custom level, there's a setting: "Launching applications and unsafe
files". If I set that to enable, the box goes away. (I'm using software
restrictions to only allow certain apps, so the warning box is irrelevant).

I want to be able to set this value via GP rather than through the IE
interface. The IE ADM template seems to include every setting except for
this one.

Why? I've tried creating a custom ADM for the setting, but I'm getting
nowhere with that. I'll probably try that again next week.
But I'm curious why this particular setting is not available in the
template? Any ideas? Am I missing something?
