Compressed files on network share after IE7 upgd

[agent_jdh 0]

Hi

 

Wonder if anyone here can help me.

 

Since upgrading to IE7 yesterday, every time I right-click or double-click on a compressed file (zip or rar) on my network shares results in a popup warning me of a potential security risk and asking if I want to continue.

 

The same action on a file on my local drives (i.e. My Computer zone) works fine, no popup.

 

The network shares appear in the Internet zone, so I'm guessing this is why it's wary of zip/rar files - it doesn't seem to mind bz2 files though (!) - so the question is, how do I modify this to not give me the popup?

 

Alternatively, is there a way to get XP to treat my local network as being in the Local Intranet zone?

 

I've put up with the new behaviour for a day now but it's beginning to irritate me... can't see an obvious option in the Custom Security Settings page.

 

Cheers

 

Jonathan

Open Internet Settings,

Security tab,

Select Local intranet and click Sites button,

click Advanced, add host's name to list.

Close, OK, OK.

 

Try that.

BINGO.

 

Thanks.
