Open File (local) Security Warning

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Hi,
I just re-installed IE and since then have been getting the
"Open File: Security Warning" messages for most programs
I try to run (local ones, NOT downloads).

I did disable this before, but have forgotten how to. Googling for
the answer only came up with how to disable this for files on a network
(by adding to zone) and when downloading files in IE.

Could anyone tell me where in the registry this can be disabled?

Regards,
VT

In IE go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced. Under Security clear the checkbox for "Check for signatures on downloaded programs."
