How to disable ALL security alerts in windows 7
Before any of the resident security-crazed members reply to this, please note this question is in regards to a personal computer. I am well aware of the risks (almost none) and dont need to be reminded of best practices. Roughly 3-4 security alerts for downloading and running a file from the web simply numbs the user and is bordering on excessive and downright stupid.
That being said, lets get on to the question. I am looking for ways to disable ALL warnings in windows 7. I.E. the publisher warnings when opening files downloaded from the internet as well as any other warnings within windows 7. I tried to modify low risk file types in GPEDIT.msc but didnt seem to make a difference. Im also looking for advice and tips from other members on how they were able to disable certain alerts or security warnings. Please share what you have done and it may be helpful. User account control has already been disabled. I will test on my computer and get back to you. I am basically trying to take a standard windows 7 desktop and convert it into a real computer that doesnt cripple you with prompts and warnings at every turn.
Again your thoughts and feedback is appreciated. If you try to change my mind on this one, I am just going to laugh at you because microsoft has you right where they want you!
