Skit/PGWARE does this warning appear on files saved to FAT32 partition too ? Haven't installed SP2 yet but this can be a real pain Sad

Yeppers, my file system is NTFS...

FYI: I am running Windows XP Home Edition...

Hi Again,

I played around with it some more. This time, I zipped a regular .exe (i.e. not an SFX). Same results as before... No warning when extracted from the .zip file.

Please note that Winzip is installed on my machine and is set as my default zip utility. Perhaps the warning messages only appear when .zip files are opened via Windows XP? If this is the case, then the warning will probably not appear to users using earlier operating systems (or to XP users using third-party zip applications).

Can anyone confirm?

Cheers,

- Boo

Okay boys and girls...

Confirmed. I set XP to open zip files and receive the warning for the .exe in the .zip. However, no warning when the .zip is opened with a third-party app.

That figures.

FYI, I received a warning this afternoon opening in Explorer a PDF file from a downloaded ZIP file. Paranoia or what?

I guess there will also be some new error messages in SP2: "A non-Microsoft© application and/or document has been found. Please reboot your system and perform a system restore."... Laughing

Windows XP SP2 is fine for me. Smile

It just frustrated me when I found out
that the startup screens for both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows
XP Professional editions are now identical. Kind of makes me feel like
they are worth about the same. Wink

They were really the same thing overall, a few more apps and tools bundled in and a few more $ tacked onto the end price, wallaa a new product XP Pro.
