Re: Windows 2003 security issue

Hmm. When you try to download does it show that the site is in a trusted
zone at the bottom right hand corner of the browser window and is the
download from the same website and not linked to some other website that
might be in a different web content zone? You might also want to post in
the Microsoft.public.internetexplorer.security newsgroup. When you went to
Control Panel/add and remove programs/Windows components to remove IE
enhanced security try uninstalling it for users and administrators if you
did not do so before to see if that makes a difference. --- Steve
