"I believe that you can only set network policies to Private or Public, but there isn't much difference between Private and Work. A Private network is trusted.

Open the Local Security Policy Editor (Start->Run ""secpol.msc"" ).
Under Security Settings, select ""Network List Manager Policies"" and then select
a network name from the displayed names (I don't know exactly which name will apply in your case).
Right-click and select Properties and set the ""Location type"" to Private.
Reboot."
