   I don't see an easy answer.  The issue is not that users are warned =
when there is no reason too, it's that they got lucky.  A better analogy = than
a combination lock is Russian roulette.  It's always dangerous = which is why
there is a warning.  What would you do?

   On a related note, how do you make a user that just wants things to =
"work" and clicks OK because it doesn't "work" if he makes another = choice to
care about such choices?  You can remove the choice which is = the position
taken with Outlook and dangerous attachments.  There were = plenty that
complained including folks here when that happened.

  Very true.

  And the reason that people would have clicked OK to bypass the =
security
  warnings is that they have clicked similar stupid messages a thousand
  times with no bad side effects.

  The stupidity prize here is earned by the far-sighted designers who =
put a
  combination time bomb in the hands of the gullible. You can twirl the
  combination 999 times with no problem. The thousandth attempt blows =
your
  hands off.
