Type:	Switch
Saved in:	Registry
Initial value:	1

Topic Update: Added a description of the capability to block a network call.

To help protect against malicious code, setting the value to 1 blocks AcadHostApplicationServices::getRemoteFile(), part of the ObjectARX API, from copying remote files to the local computer.

Value	Description
0	Loads files from any location, including the internet or from a remote server. This option maintains legacy behavior that allows the possibility of an application or malware copying a file to your local computer.
1	Loads files only if they are local, blocking access to those that are from an internet location or from a remote server. This setting might interfere with some applications.
