    No, Windows Explorer itself does this when attempting to access network files under some byzantine set of conditions I’ve never been able to get to the bottom of. For instance, my machine at work bitches at me whenever I attempt to open or copy any log file (which is obviously just a text file) from either of my Linux based servers.

    I use Notepad++ also, and trying to open one of these files either from Explorer or the file open dialog in NP++ triggers the warning.

    I literally did it just now to generate this screenshot.

      Okay that is a common error when accessing unknown network shares and network settings are misconfigured. Need to add whatever IP or network name to intranet zone. It’s not to do with the file type or contents.
