OLE Container

Using VB6
Service Pack 5
MDAC 2.5

I'm Using an OLE container and embedding an executable
file in it. Then, using the DoVerb method to fire it. This
works fine in Windows 98, but in Windows XP a "File
Download" screen appears that says --Some files may harm
your computer....." and it asks to open the file. Is there
a way to ignore or bypass this message? This is an
application that runs automated with no user intervention.
So, you can see the dilema. Thank you for your help in
advance.

I believe this will require a change in the Software Restriction Policy supp
orted in Windows XP:
