Hi all.
Every time I open an exe or shortcut on my network drive, I get the "File Download" dialogue. You know, the one which tells you it might be harmful, and asks "would you like to open or save?". The Save button is always grayed out, not that I want to use it anyway.
The actual problem is that the "Always ask before openeing this type of file" option is grayed out, so I can't de-select it. How can I correct this? I'm guessing it's a "policy" entry in the registry, but don't know where to look.

Often I read on some Sharepoint forums that users have a problem by opening documents. The warning that will displayed says: “Some files can harm your computer. If the file information looks suspicious or you do not fully trust the source, do not open the file.”
Because I get the same warning, I created a Regedit script, that will disable this warning by un-check some checkboxes in the windows explorer. (tools -map options - file types)
If you have the same problem, test this script!!!
Let me know if something is missing or something is not working.
Save the bottom code as filename.reg. U can run it from the command prompt on the clients using: regedit /s filename.reg
