Remote Desktop: Security settings do not allow running exe-files

[Hjort16]

I have a problem during remote desktop sessions from Win XP SP2 into a Win2003-webEd SP2 server.

Using Windows Explorer and double-clicking on some .exe-file anywhere in the directory tree I get a messagebox: "Your current security settings do not allow this action." But, when copying the .exe-file onto the desktop, and the double-clicking allows execution with no problem.

I believe the problem started when using the security configuration wizard which surfaced on the desktop during installation of SP2 for Win2003. Even though I accepted all default settings.

My problem: Which security setting is causing the security message box above?

If you are running the .exe from a remote drive then this is by design. .EXEs that are located on mapped drives will indicate this message
