This is a duplicate message I left for Microsoft. Then I thought maybe I would do better at TechPowerUp. So here I am.

How to Enable or disable hyperlink warning messages in Office programs
How to globally enable or disable hyperlink warnings - To enable or to disable the hyperlink warnings in Microsoft Office programs when an https:// address, a notes:// address, or an FTP:// address is used, you must create a new registry subkey. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, and then click Run.
  2. In the Open dialog box, type Regedit, and then click OK.
    Note:
    • You have to modify only one of these registry subkeys. You do not have to modify both.
    • If the Security subkey already exists, go directly to step 6 after you select the Security subkey.
  3. Locate and then select the following registry subkey (if the subkey does not exist, create it manually): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\ xx.0\Common
4. Click the registry subkey, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click Key.

When I click on Registry subkey-Edit-New, all is greyed out.
Note: The instructions seem to be in reverse, or am I in the wrong place Edit-New?
File - Edit - View - Favorites - Help

When I did the search on HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\ , I got nothing. So where would I type in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Common.

https:// address, a notes:// address, or an ftp:// address is used, you must create a new registry subkey. To do this, follow these steps

I tried typing in the following, And after click, it reveres back to computer. (On registry Addressbar.)


So I need to know
1. When an https:// is used. My concern is my hard drives. I don't want the Security error. I need to know the location and name of the registry. I did find this location in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\Location2 I guess that this is most of my problem.
2. What's with the Menu Edit or Run?

Hi,
I would think just advanced/ general and uncheck "update automatic links on open" would suffice ?
