Removing the SP2 security warnings

Since SP2, whenever i open exes from my documents (or anywhere else on my server) i get the security warning shown below. Is there any way to switch this off as it's really annoying me.

You sould try unchecking that little box that says 'Alway ask before opening this file'.

There are quite a few SP2 and general windows things which P'ee me off after a reinstall. This little regfile fixes the most annoying ones for me.
Copy and paste into a *.reg file, and run :)

Code:

Thanks :D

wat annoys me with sp2 is it moaning 'update me' 'enable a firewall'

grrr cant u see i have a hw firewall

but open security centre, and at the side choose change the way sc alerts me, then untick em all :D

set the option in security center that says suttin alont the lines of managing a firewall manually and it should shut up

Pretty sure you can just add that site "\\toady\*" to the IE trusted sites and that'll sort it.
