Tool -> Internet Options -> Security. select the appropriate zone and
set to "disable" from 'prompt"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q174360&

For recommended settings, see for example:
http://www.jfitz.com/tips/ie_security_config.html
http://www.theguardianangel.com/tutorials/browser_security_tutorials_summary.htm

Note the section on Outlook and Outlook Express security at the bottom
of the last site.
