I do notice that clicking URLs to any *EXTERNAL* web page brings up
absolutely no warnings.

It would be helpful if you specified what "this" you were referring to.

To add a program to the exceptions list:
You must be logged on to this computer as an administrator to complete this
procedure.
Open Windows Firewall.
On the Exceptions tab, under Programs and Services, select the check box for
the program or service that you want to allow, and then click OK.
If the program (or service) that you want to allow is not listed:
Click Add Program.
In the Add a Program dialog box, click the program that you want to add, and
then click OK. The program will appear, selected, on the Exceptions tab,
under Programs and Services.
Click OK.
If the program (or service) that you want to allow is not listed in the Add
a Program dialog box:
In the Add a Program dialog box, click Browse, locate the program that you
want to add, and then double-click it. (Programs are usually stored in the
Program Files folder on your computer.) The program will appear under
Programs, in the Add a Program dialog box.
Click OK. The program will appear, selected, on the Exceptions tab, under
Programs and Services.
Click OK.
If you still do not find the program, you can open a port instead. A port is
like a small door in the firewall that allows communications to pass
through. To specify which port to open, on the Exceptions tab, click Add
Port. (When you open a port, remember to close it again when you are done
using it.)
Adding an exception is preferable to opening a port because:
It is easier to do.
You do not need to know which port number to use.
Adding an exception helps provide security, because the firewall is only
open while the program is waiting to receive the connection.
Advanced options:
Advanced users can open ports for, and configure the scope of, individual
connections to minimize opportunities for intruders to connect to a computer
or network. To do this, open Windows Firewall, click the Advanced tab, and
use the settings under Network Connection Settings.

I do not use Windows Firewall on my WindowsXP machines and I also get
the error on Windows 2000 machines.

and windows firewall solution doesn't work at all with Onenote. Hoping for
a solution soon... I know quite a few other onenote users that are annoyed
with this pop-up!

I would like to disable the warning message also.
(hyperlink in Access to an Excel file)

Your post indicates that you are interested in disabling the hyperlink
warning message that you get in Access when trying to open a link to an
Excel file if I understood you correctly. While I don't use Access, I
believe this is a common problem when trying to use a hyperlink in a
Microsoft Office application to open an external file on the hard drive.
I was frustrated by these messages in OneNote as well and was told some time
ago about a registry hack that doesn't affect your security settings for
OneNote 2007/Office 2007 but suppresses the warning message. It requires you
to make one registry entry only.
The following needs to be added to the registry to disable the warning
message that pops up when clicking on a hyperlink to a local file:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Security
"DisableHyperlinkWarning"=dword:00000001
I tried to make a merge file to merge it into the registry and it always
said that it merged correctly but it never showed up or made a difference,
I was still getting the warning, so I decided to create it manually.
1. Open Regedit and click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER and drill down until you are
at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\
2. Check to see if there is an entry for Security. On Mine there wasn't so I
had to create it.
3. You should be at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\
at this point.
4. Click on New on the Edit menu, and then click Key
5. Type Security and press enter.
6. Again, on the Edit menu select New and then click DWORD Value.
7. Type the following: DisableHyperlinkWarning, and then press ENTER to name
the entry.
8. In the right-hand window you should see the DisableHyperlinkWarning that
you just entered. Right-click on it and select Modify.
9. Enter the value of 1 in the Edit DWORD Value Dialog box where it calls
for Value Data. (Note that a value of 0 enables the Hyperlink warning
message and a value of 1 will disable it.
10. Click OK and close Regedit.
11. You should get no more warning messages when clicking on a hyperlink to
a local file from any Office application, not just OneNote.
I have only tried this on a Vista Ultimate machine, running Office 2007 and
OneNote 2007 but it's working fine on all three systems.
Hope this helps,
Michael

I had tried this before, but the instructions were to change from
Hexadecimal to Decimal and that did not work.
Yours doesn't have me do that and WhoooHoooo!
It works!!!
