Fixing That Annoying 'Attach Security Warning' Message on Windows 7

(Microsoft Windows,Microsoft Visual Studio) by Jason Skowronek on 01/06/2011

I have had to deal with the annoying "Attach Security Warning" dialog more than once over the past year. As such, I am writing this to remind myself, and assist others that may run across it, on how to fix the warning message when manually attaching the Visual Studio (2008 and 2010) debugger to the web processes in Windows 7.

The solution is simple, hack the registry. Come on Microsoft, really?

Anyway, you can just copy/paste this registry entry into your own .REG file to import the settings into the registry. Thanks to Abhijit for the full solution.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Debugger]
"DisableAttachSecurityWarning"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Debugger]
"DisableAttachSecurityWarning"=dword:00000001
