Do you want to move or copy files from this zone?
A while ago, we started getting this error message when copying files from our NSLU2 network drive:
“Do you want to move or copy files from this zone?”
The NSLU2 is on our local network, so it made no sense to me why it would be considered part of an Explorer zone that we shouldn’t trust. Of course I searched a bit to find a solution, but never found much that was promising. For the most part, we just put up with the annoyance.
One day, I was tired of the stupid message and went to figure it out. It was surprisingly simple.
In Internet Explorer, choose Internet Options from the Tools menu.
On the Security tab, choose Local intranet and make sure the Security level for this zone is set to Medium-Low.
Click Sites.
Check Include all network paths (UNCs). Click OK twice.
Now when you copy files from a local network device, you won’t get that annoying warning.
If this helps you, please leave a quick comment to let others know.
