Hi there - I want to disable this pop up in Outlook:

(it won't let me add a picture, but its the 'Opening Mail Attachment' dialogue which says 'You should only open attachments from a trusted source' and has a greyed out tickbox at the bottom for 'Always ask before opening this type of file')


There are many posts describing how to disable this per user by running Outlook as administrator and unticking the box - but I am hoping to find a way to disable this for a large number of users at one time (e.g. a registry key or something), without having to give them all local admin rights to untick this box, or going around logging in to do it for potentially thousands of users.

The reason for this is that this dialogue seems to cause an intermittant issue where users can't click links to shared network locations in emails (outlook says it cant find the file path even though it is correct). This issue seems to go away if you disable this pop up, and I need to do that for a large group of users. Thanks All
