elvee,

Thanks for that mate. I actually tried that solution before I posted and while it works you get that Windows message 'This file may be harmful to your computer blah blah blah' and then the Dialogue boxes 'Save', 'Open', 'Cancel' etc. Unfortunately you cannot force it to open it by changing the 'Always perform this action' checkbox as it's greyed out and inaccessible.

Does anyone know how to force Windows to open a particular file type without giving this warning?

Otherwise the solution works but it's not elegant >

Ok try this...Open windows Explorer to c:\ .

Now open the Start menu and right click My Network Places icon and drag and drop as a Shortcut to c:\ .

Now try the .lnk in Object Dock and see if it works ok that way.

It's working like a charm for me.

Yeah but i can never remember where those keys are

elvee doesnt venture into the registry too much
