open documents with Liberty Basic vs. with explorer

[ernie]

I am using LB Pro 4.51 to open .rtf and .pdf files

My system has .pdf files associated with Foxit Reader.

When I use code to associate .pdf files with LB, it works but Foxit produces the following message:

Security Warning
[yellow triangle with exclamation mar]
Foxit Reader has been opened by the following app without a valid
signature. This may indicate a security issue. If you know what's going on
and would like to continue, click "OK". If you’re not sure, click "Cancel".
App:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Liberty BASIC Pro v4.5.l\lbpro.exe
[] Remember your choice for this action
OK CANCEL

Files open without issues with:
  run "explorer [document name]"

My question is, in Liberty Basic, why not  just use "run explorer [document name]" to open documents? This software is intended for distribution.

If in understand correctly I would say making that a standard would defeat the purpose of using LB.

The document is a user manual for my LB program. The user opens the user manual from within LB.

I have used the same technique.

[help]
   run "explorer SCHelp.pdf"
   wait


It seems to work well, you get the benefit of .pdf and the reliability that it will open on the users PC in a browser. I don't see any nag screens with this method.

Thank you!
