Links from PowerPoint to Logos 4

I'm setting up a new computer. Usually I have links from PowerPoint straight to my Logos 4 library. Most times I use a netbook in class. Sometimes, however, I'll use my new more powerful machine.

I'm using Microsoft Office 2010. When I click on a link to Logos 4, I get the security warning (see image).

I have also added the Logos 4 folders as "trusted locations" in the Microsoft Trust Center of PowerPoint.

I can't get rid of the Security Warning when I click on a link to Logos 4.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

I should probably specify that on my netbook (Windows XP, SP3), everything works well.

The message I get on the Windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine when I click on a link to Logos 4 is: "Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern."

Thanks, Steve. I was aware of that post, except for the downloadable utility mentioned. I had already made the changes to the registry as indicated in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925757(which pertains to Office 2007, not to Office 2010). The only difference is for Office 2010, the folder in the registry is 14.0 instead of 12.0, as is seen by this screen image below.

I was unaware of the downloadable utility, mentioned by Robert Pavich (http://enable-disable-hyperlink-warning.findmysoft.com/download/), but it applies to Office 2003 or Office 2007. I think the utility should automatically make the changes to the registry that I have made, to no avail.

I have also made changes in the "Microsoft Trusted Center" part of PowerPoint 2010, adding the directory (and sub-directories) where Logos 4 is located (see image below):

Even with those changes, I still get the message popping up when I click on a link to Logos 4 from within a PowerPoint 2010 presentation. See screen image below:

I'm sorry for including so many graphics here. Surely I'm not the only one attempting to use links in PowerPoint 2010 on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine. Like I stated before, on my netbook (Windows XP, SP3, with Office 2010) it works perfectly. I have replicated the settings in the setup in "Microsoft Trust Center", but I still get the popup.

I'm open to suggestions and help.

Thanks.

i think your graphics will help others who view your post in assisting you. i am running Vista 32bit and have Office 2003, so i am not going to be of any assistance. Please be patient, others who have your system configuration hopefully will reply with a remedy. (if you do not get a reply today, then try adding a reply such as Bump to bring it back to the top of the forum list tomorrow)

I think the simplest solution is to disable "User Account Control" (UAC) for your machine. If you have a secure network and are running an good anti-virus program that you keep up to date, there is very little reason to leave UAC enabled, IMHO, and many reasons (like this one) for disabling it. The UAC can be disabled through the Windows Control Panel (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts > Change User Account Control Settings > set to "Never Notify").

Thanks for the idea, Richard.

I tried it, but it didn't work. I set the UAC to "Never Notify," which forced me to reboot. I opened up my PPT, opened up Logos 4, and tested it.

I still get the Security Popup.

Seems odd, unless it's PPT (not Windows) sending the message. I don't own MS Office, but is there any way to adjust the security options within PPT (or Office)?

The registry key is DisableHyperlinkWarning, not HyperLinkWarning (note the capitalisation, too).

Mark,

You are my hero! I have found that I'm a pretty good proofreader, that is, unless I'm reading what I have written. Thanks for finding my error. I was away from my office, and got an e-mail with your response on my phone. I was certain that was the solution. I've just returned to the office, made that change to the registry key, and voilá, problem solved. Thanks.

Friday and Saturday, I am doing some training for novice users of Logos 4. I have made a handout of helps, and have a link to your Unofficial Videos. We may watch a portion of your videos during the training sessions, but I will certainly encourage everyone to take advantage of them. I also just received M. Proctor's Camp Logos Live.

Thanks again for helping me out. Blessings on you and your ministry!

David, I am glad that you got it working. I went through the same process a few days ago with Word 2010. In the interest of helping others I will create a similar post with Word or Office in the title.

Mark,

Got a new computer, setting it up again.

I think I edited the registry correctly this time, but can't seem to get rid of the HyperLinkWarning message.

The Microsoft support page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925757) has now been edited to include Office 2010, but my Registry does not have the same directory structure.

The Microsoft support page lists HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\CommonHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common

My Registry is a little different. See image attached.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks.

The Microsoft support page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925757) has now been edited to include Office 2010

Replicated hyperlink warning for logosres: using PowerPoint 2010.

Closed all Office 2010 applications, added DisableHyperlinkWarning DWORD to registry (with value 1), then opened PowerPoint 2010, inserted Logos hyperlink, ran slide show, clicked link, which worked fine (switched to Logos 4.3 SR-2, opened resource to linked location)

Before screen shot, widened Name column in Registry Editor so could read entire entry.

Keep Smiling [:)]

I tried exactly what you did, but I'm still getting the warning popup.

I closed Microsoft Office.

I went into the Registry Editor, where the DisableHyperlinkWarning key already existed. I deleted the key, then exited Registry Editor. I opened Registry Editor again, and added the key.

Then I rebooted.

I checked the Registry Editor to make certain that the key was there with the value of 1.

Then I opened PowerPoint, ran the slide show, clicked on the link, and the warning popped up.

Why is this not working the way it should?

Did you see th eother warnings at the end of the Microsoft article?

If you still receive a warning message

After you disable warning messages, you may still receive a warning message from Microsoft Windows. If you continue to receive a warning message after you follow the steps in this article, use one of the following methods to resolve the issue.

Note Method 1 applies only to Windows XP and to earlier versions of Windows. For Windows Vista and for later versions of Windows, use method 2.

Method 1: Turn off the "Confirm open after download" option for the file type that you are trying to open

Double-click My Computer.
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
On the File Types tab, select the appropriate file name extension (for example, WMV) in the Registered File Types box, and then click Advanced.
Click to clear the Confirm open after download check box, and then click OK.
In the Folder Options dialog box, click Close.

Method 2: Modify the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMVFile\EditFlags registry subkey

Use this method if the warning message affects multiple computers.

To disable the warning message, follow these steps:

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMVFile\EditFlags
Click EditFlags, and then click Rename on the Edit menu.
Type OldEditFlags, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD value.
Type EditFlags, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, click Hexadecimal under Base.
Type 10000, and then click OK.

To re-enable the warning message, follow these steps:

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMVFile\EditFlags
Click EditFlags, and then click Modify on the Edit menu.
Type 0, and then click OK.

Note Even after you follow these steps, you will receive the warning message if you open files in Office 2010 under Protected View.

Dominick,

I've done EVERYTHING in the Microsoft Support document. I used Method 2, since I'm using Windows 7, and Method 1 pertains to Windows XP users.

I'll include screen images. I'm stumped. I'm still getting the annoying popup message.

I even went into the "Trust Center Settings" in PowerPoint 2010, to add as "Trusted Locations" the files in my Logos 4 Library:

Finally,one more graphic. This is one of the PowerPoint slides with a link to Logos. I captured the screen after clicking on a Scripture Reference link, showing the annoying popup:

I'm completely stumped. Several months back (on a computer I got last spring), I named the Registry Key "HyperlinkWarning" instead of "DisableHyperlinkWarning" Once I corrected that, everything worked.

The only difference between that computer and this one is that one is running Windows 7 Professional and this one is running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Hopefully, someone can help me solve this sometime tomorrow. My OT class has a test tomorrow, but I will be presenting on Wednesday morning, and I don't want to see that ugly warning pop up!

Thanks,

David

Wonder about deleting registry additions, then in Office 2010 Trust Center settings, Privacy Options, wonder about unchecking "Allow sending files to improve file validation" ? (should create Security folder with File Validation sub-folder in Registry, then add "DisableHyperlinkWarning" to Security folder).

Note: did not need WMVFile registry key modification (noticed OldEditFlags key missing). Also using default trusted locations from Office 2010 installation (none of my own).

Apologies: unable to check Registry Editor key name spelling since screen shots have name truncated (can drag vertical bar to widen column to show full Name).

Thanks for suggestions Keep Smiling. I did not know whether or not I had 32-bit or 64-bit Office installed. This machine (HP Pavilion DM1) is 64-Bit Windows 7 Home Premium. It had the Office Trial pre-installed. I just added a previously purchased license to activate it. I never even considered which version it was. As it turns out, I have to 32-bit version of Office installed, which is recommended per the Microsoft Blog entry you referenced.

I made the suggestion change in the Office Trust Center Privacy Options (unchecking the box for "Allow sending files . . ." The added FileValidation key under Security (in the Registry) was not added automatically. I added it manually, then added the DisableHyperlinkWarning key to that as well. I'm still getting the annoying popup.

Here is a screen image with column widened, to show spelling of DisableHyperlinkWarning;

Did you mean for me to delete all the added keys in registry?

Last time I did this (reference this same thread), it was so easy!

In an hour or so, I will be in my office, and will be able to compare setting on this computer with the one that is in my office. With Labor Day yesterday (though I was working from home a bit) I did not go into work. [:)]

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Blessings!

Here is a screen image with column widened, to show spelling of DisableHyperlinkWarning;

Looking at screen image, noticed 2 keys that begin with Security in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common

Wonder if one Security key has a trailing blank, which is being ignored ?

Also noticed other Security key has a triangle for expansion, wonder if FileValidation inside ? (with DisableReporting DWORD)

Keep Smiling [:)]

I had deleted all the added keys, and started over. Still no pay dirt. My registry appears to be just like the one on my other machine--all to no avail.

I now have only one "Security" entry.

Do my entries look like yours, Keep Smiling? I'm particularly interested in what you have for the "File Validation."

I'm wondering if I should uninstall Microsoft Office, and re-install from the disc I received when I purchased the licenses.

I'm at a total loss.

Wonder about deleting Security key, then use PowerPoint 2010 to create and verify Security key by changing File Validation in Trust Center Privacy Options:

Open regedit, delete Security key in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common, close regedit
Open PowerPoint 2010: Trust Center => Privacy Options => check "Allow sending files to improve file validation", OK, close PowerPoint 2010
Open regedit looking for DisableReporting DWORD value change to 0 within FileValidation, then close regedit
Open PowerPoint 2010, Trust Center => Privacy Options => uncheck "Allow sending files to improve file validation:, OK, close PowerPoint 2010
Open regedti looking for DisableReporting DWORD value change to 1 within FileValidation, If value now 1, then add DisableHyperlinkWarning DWORD with value of 1 to Security key, close regedit
Open PowerPoint 2010, try clicking logosres link in presentation.

Keep Smiling [:)]

Thanks!

Let me tell you what I did. I wondered if the key was not doing what it should have because I used the pre-installed version of Office. When I got home tonight, I decided to uninstall that, and reinstall Office from the DVD. That did not work. Everything was the same.

I just tried what you suggested above. I added a reboot of the system between #5 and #6, just for good measure.

It works! No more annoying pop up security messages.

Thanks for hanging with me. I've got to ask you, though, did you just come up with that last procedure by intuition, or did you find something online that made you come up with it?

I really appreciate your help!

God bless, and keep smiling for Jesus!

Your #3 - Open regedit looking for DisableReporting DWORD value change to 0 within FileValidation, then close regedit

Is this file under Office\Security?

I think I did what your list indicated but still get the message.

Let me know where to look for "DiabaleReporting DWORD"

Thanks for the help!

DisableReporting is in registry key: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Security\FileValidation

In PowerPoint 2010, File => Options => Trust Center => Trust Center Settings => Privacy Options, unchecked "Allow sending files to improve file validation" (so PowerPoint 2010 created appropriate Security and FileValidation registry keys)
