Comment: All of a sudden Vista is blocking .exe files from being saved when downloaded OR from being extracted from .ZIP files. I'm assuming one of the updates for security is the culprit. Can anyone help me find out how to disable this "For my own good" "enhancement"? I've tried everywhere to find an answer and have asked on MS's Help Communities and no one there could help! This is ridiculous! Please help me, as this is very aggravating.. Thanks for any help and info. PS Going into the Registry to make changes doesn't faze me! laubin
