Hi
Does anyone know how to turn off the 'Protected View' by default.
Its an absolute pain in the butt

Everytime I export a document to Excel, Excel opens up with the 'Protected View' enabled

thanks

As a middle of the road solution, you could add a specific location to the trusted locations in Excel. Any file opened from the trusted location would open in edit mode, afaik. Just be sure to use a specific folder rather than the downloads folder etc.

I went with Taltos option and it worked a treat.
