Plus, it's not an IIS issue.

:
: FYI it's considered polite to search a newsgroup before posting. This
: question was answered a number of times very recently.
:
: Information is available by reading the article below:
:
: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q329570
:
: Briefly, you can use one of the following two methods:
:
: MODIFY THE UNSAFE FILE LIST
: To keep being protected by the Outlook Express file security feature but
: just remove certain file types from the Internet Explorer unsafe file
list:
:
: NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the
following
: steps may be different on your computer.
:
: 1. In Control Panel, double-click Folder Options.
: 2. Click the File Types tab.
: 3. Click the file type that you want to allow, and then click Advanced.
: 4. Click to clear the "Confirm open after download" check box.
:
: NOTE: You cannot clear the Confirm open after download check box to allow
: certain file types. For example, by default, the Internet Explorer 6
unsafe
: file list includes .exe files, and you cannot remove this file type from
the
: list.
:
: OR, TURN OFF THE OPTION TO USE THE UNSAFE FILE LIST
: To disable [and lose the protection of] the "Do not allow attachments to
be
: saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" security feature:
: 1. Start Outlook Express.
: 2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
: 3. Click the Security tab, click to clear the "Do not allow attachments
to
: be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" check box under
Virus
: Protection, and then click OK.
:
: You might want to try the first method first, since the second method
: disables this protection entirely.
