Let Me Rephrase my question:

I read in an article that Windows XP Service Pack 2 will block downloads
from specific publishers - Some sites kept prompting us to install
programs - also known as unwanted programs. Others are very aggressive that
even if you selected No, the program will still be installed. Not anymore
with Internet Explorer in Windows XP SP2 because a Security Warning will be
shown to you which you can select whether to "Always run software from ..."
or "Never run software from ..." and/or "Ask me every time"

I have someone that has XP SP2 installed. I clicked on "Never run software
from..." (not thinking ... duhhhh...)

How can I undo that problem so that it once again installs the required
program?

Thank you in advance for your help
