I just aquired a used computer (Windows XP) with many, many EX. files in it.
I keep getting the message: "Windows must know where the file came from before it can be opened". (Wording is very close) I have the option of going online to see if windows can locate the origin of the file, but it never can. Boy, would I love some help on this.
Thanking you in advance,
