I have a program for doing automated backups that I want to have running
automatically when a workstation or server starts.

At present it does the actual backups using a ShellExecute command (calls
PKZIP), now of some pcs and servers this causes a dialog from Windows to
come up "Do you want to run this application".   Sort of ruins the automated
part of it.  I understand this is from security settings, and I would like
to either:

1 - get rid of this dialog if there are simple and consistent settings I can
find - haven't found it yet!

2 - get rid of the ShellExecute, which means I would need a PKZIP compatible
component, preferably free,and without a DLL to avoid distribution issues.

Any suggestions?

John
