I found a fix by changing “internet options” — so I guess Windows is detecting the “internet” as my own network.. sigh. Click Start / Control Panel / Internet Options Click Security tab. Click Local Intranet Click Sites button. Click Advanced button. Enter the IP Address of the other machine or server (wildcards are allowed) and click Add Click Close, then OK, then OK again. This worked for me, but it’s a bummer I have to manually enter IPs here.. it would be nice if Windows could detect this is a local network file copy and skip the irritating (and pointless) warning about “dangerous” files.
