How to disable hyperlink security notice in OneNote 2016?
Every time I open a link to a local file in OneNote 2016, I get this annoying popup:
There used to be a setting in the Trust Center to disable this, but it no longer exists in Office 2016
I also tried adding a DisableHyperlinkWarning regedit key, but that did not work. The asker of the linked question was not able to disable the warning with this approach either, so I assume this was removed in Office 2016 as well.
Is there any way for me to disable this security notice?
I had success following the registry key steps from this guide: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_o365legacy-mso_oapps/office-365onenote-security-notice-settings/a4f9120a-3c39-44fc-9c1f-b8f76fd79b00?auth=1
From the post:
-
In the Registry Editor, locate the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common
On the menu bar, click Edit → New → Key and type
Security
and press Enter.- Right click Security, then click New → DWORD (32-bit) Value and type
DisableHyperlinkWarning
and press Enter. - Double click the above value, select Decimal and change the Value data to
1
, then click OK.
The DisableHyperlinkWarning
key value was added, but a comment below pointed out the trailing space accidentally being added to the end of the value name.
After I removed the space the popup stopped for me.
