This would be interesting to hear the answer. I had to have the Employee go in and disable it. The settings held, but I would be very interested in this solution.

Hi Natestack,
These settings seem to be saved under the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\version\application\Security\ProtectedView registry key (where version is 14.0, 16.0, etc, and application is Word, Excel, etc.)
Note that I only did I quick registry check. Testing whether this actually works is left as an exercise to the reader ![]()
If it does indeed work, you could apply this configuration with UEM as a predefined setting in Personalization, or via Registry Settings on the User Environment tab.

Hi UEMdev,
So found this issue and we currently getting around this using the
User Environment
Registry settings
Repeat the line with Excel, Word, Outlook etc
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\Security\ProtectedView]
"DisableInternetFilesInPV"=dword:00000001
"DisableAttachmentsInPV"=dword:00000001
"DisableUnsafeLocationsInPV"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Security\ProtectedView]
"DisableInternetFilesInPV"=dword:00000001
"DisableAttachmentsInPV"=dword:00000001
"DisableUnsafeLocationsInPV"=dword:00000001
