Disabling the Windows Folder Warning
If you're sick of seeing that warning page every time you try to access your Windows folder, you have two options. The first is to view your desktop in the classic Windows style by going to View, Folder Options in any window, selecting Classic Style, and clicking OK. This is a bit limiting, of course, because many things about the old-school Windows view may not suit your needs.

A better option involves changing the name of a specific file in your Windows directory. You'll need to see all your files, so first go to View, Folder Options in any folder, click the View tab, and choose Show All Files. Then go to the Windows folder and look for a file named Folder. This file contains HTML information that redirects your request to that warning page whenever you access the Windows folder. Change the name of it (I chose Folder1) and press Enter. The Windows warning should not appear the next time you try to access the Windows folder.
