Re: Is there a way to block file downloads

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

KM.

I actually tried this on my xp pro machine as a test and it did not work the
way I originally thought. I added the two urls to my trusted site and made
sure that downloads was enabled. Then I want to the Internet zone and
disabled it there and I could not download anything even from my trusted
sites and that surprised me. I made sure that the site was trusted and when
I went to download from there I got the message that I was allowed to do
this. And I defnitely would like to have the registry value so I can remove
the security tab from IE.

What have I missed?

Thanks,

Deb
