'Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern' Excel 2007
'Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern'.
Oh great. Let me stop what I'm doing and make sure that Excel is happy. Every time I click in a cell in Excel with underline text I get this message. Lord God the minions at Microsoft are dumb. Because the text is underlined you think it's a hyperlink. Brilliant. Here's how to get past these dimwitted geeks.
1. Open the registry editor;
2. Browse to the following location in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common
3. If the Security key/folder already exists under the Common key, then select it. If it doesn't exist already then create it via;
Edit-> New-> Key
4. Here create a new DWORD Value via;
Edit-> New-> DWORD Value
Value name: DisableHyperlinkWarning
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
When this key is set to 0 or is missing, the security warning will show again.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Security\DisableHyperlinkWarning
