You can do this in IE directly, or via registry.

>From IE:
1) choose Tools -> Options and go to Security tab.
2) Click on Custom Level... and scroll down to Downloads section.
3) Under File Download change the option to Disable.

Registry:
Create .reg file that contains the following:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\3]
"1803"=dword:00000003

The above requires restart to take effect. It will prevent ALL users on that
computer from downloading the file though. If you need to apply it only to
certain users, then the string should look like:

[HKEY_USERS\<SID>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\3]
"1803"=dword:00000003

where <SID> is appropriate Security Identifier for particular user.
