While opening (executing and installing) a file having .exe, zip, bat etc. extensions in Windows 7 and Vista, the system will return with the following security warning window “Do you want to run this file?”. If you wish to turn it off and disable it for good because you are one of those guys who like installing tons of applications on your computer, here is a quick hack for you!
- Open your Notepad.
- Copy and Paste this code in the notepad:
- Save it on your desktop as allowall.reg.
- Click it to merge its content your Windows registry content.
- Restart the computer for the change to take effect.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download]
“CheckExeSignatures”=”no”
“RunInvalidSignatures”=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
“SaveZoneInformation”=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Associations]
“LowRiskFileTypes”=”.zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat; .com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi ;.mpg;.mpeg;.mov;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;”

Running Win7 (32bit) I couldn’t get it to update registry. 1 problem is there’s a space in “[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Associations]” which shouldn’t be there. Even after correcting it, still wouldn’t update registry. Ended up manually entering the settings and now works fine. Thanks for this post!

thank you, that did it, but what I don’t get is that my system was working fine until just a bit ago, I have done no updates, nor anything else, but all of a sudden this starts up again, despite the fact that I have this “feature” disabled under the UAC window. Vista and 7 are just so awful and they keep making it worse.

I don’t trust these hacks. I need a really simple solution. I don’t want to types some mysterious code.
