Get rid of Hyperlinks warning message

In Word 2003, I have a toolbar that I've assigned hyperlinks to open
frequently used documents.  In Word 2000, I had no problem.  I clicked on
the drop down toolbar & the document would open.  Now, when I click on one
of the hyperlinks on the toolbar, the behavior is strange:
1.  The first time I click on one, I get a message "Opening...filename.
Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer & data.  To protect your
computer, click only those hyperlinks from trusted sources.  Do you want to
continue?"  If I answer "yes", an hourglass comes up & finally the document
opens.
2.  If I have at least one other open document, I can then click any other
hyperlinks on the toolbar & they open instantly & without any message.
3.  If I close all the documents that were opened that session & then click
one of the hyperlinks on the toolbar, I get the message (but clicking "yes"
allows it to open without delay).

Changing the macro security settings has no affect on whether this message
appears.  The documents are within a sub folder of the My Documents folder.

Can anyone explain what is going on?  In particular, how can I get rid of
that message?

Thank you in advance.

A quick search on MSDN gave me

Hi Cindy:
I'm embarassed.  I SWEAR that I did a thorough search on the MS KB before I
posted.  Not only did I search recently, but someone else had that question & I
searched about a year ago.  This time I plugged in the phrase "click only those
hyperlinks from trusted sources" & clicked on "Search all of microsoft.com" & it
came up.  I don't know why it won't come up if I just search the KB.

Thanks again.  I appreciate your time.

Let's face it, the search engine is pretty poor, so I'm not
surprised :-) I always search starting at the MSDN site.
