Just a note here that you are allowing any EXE to execute (essentially
disabling portions of lockdown).
This actually works a lot better on IIS6, where you can define exactly the
EXE that can execute (and nothing else). In the case that the vdir allows
executable, only those allowed EXE/DLL will execute; all else are denied.
In the case that the vdir does not allow executable, you can use MIME Map
(Known Extension) to configure whether EXE files can be downloader or not.
i.e. IIS6 would allow you to configure what you want without the caveat I
just gave in my initial sentence.
