XP SP2..Stop annoying file download security warning prompt?

[Denvers Dawgs]

Is there anyway to stop the annoying file download-security warning prompt in sp2, when downloading something from the net? It appears when I try to download exe's from c-net.com...and is very annoying. Also, it won't allow me to use download accelerator for these downloads?

I take it you're using IE ?

Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security, then hit the Custom Level button. Scroll down till you see this



Check what these settings are because I think these are the ones that control it.

You can always click on the yellow bar that displays, and I'm sure there's settings on there to always allow pop-ups from that particular site. You might try enabling this.
