Tip: How to Fix Windows Security Prompt for Mapped Drives

Windows applies internet security rules in annoying ways to a local system. Forcing you to click through a security warning on every file on a mapped drive. Even after you dig your way through settings to find the internet security tab, whitelisting the IP addresses on your local area network still doesn’t work for mapped drives. On a whim I tried entering my mapped drive letters (drive letter colon i.e. H:), and much to my surprise the annoying dialog went away.
