This problem started only about a week ago. Whenever I download a file off the Internet, that bit is added to each download (when I do right click > properties). As a result, I have to right click > properties > unblock every single file I download. On other forums, the proposes solution is to run the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), then go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachments Manager, and configure some items there. Only problem is: I have no Attachments Manager viewable in the Group Policy Editor. (Also, the corresponding part of my registry is similarly missing) So (1) can I fix the problem without this method, or (2) how do I get back the ability to edit my group policy? 1 person needs an answerI do too

I have this same problem with office attachments in emails when using office 2010 on server 2008R2 running terminal services .Enabling gp do not preserve zone information in file attachments may cure the do not block issues however I need to know what other issues may occur.Is there another way or is this the only way?

Ostensibly this is caused by Alternate Streams which become attached to the files, indicating them (sometimes, incorrectly) to be Internet downloads.However I have a situation where .png graphics on one server's shared NTFS volume cannot be opened on a desktop without warnings about dangerous content (!?!) appearing. This is even wackier as .png's aren't even executables. They definitely do NOT have alternate streams, either, as shown by:http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/alternate_data_streams.htmlYet, jpeg and gif graphics on the same server can be opened in the same graphics app (PSP7) without problems.The problem seems to occur much more often on computers with Internet Explorer 8 installed, although this is not the only factor involved, it sometimes happens even on computers with (unused) IE6 or 7 and Firefox as the default.It was suggested elsewhere that adding the server's name to HOSTS or to a DNS zonefile would alleviate the problem. I can confirm that (in my case anyway) neither helps.You can sometimes stop the problem by reducing the Internet Explorer security settings, but I'm wary of exposing the computer to Internet malware by so doing.BTW this is a constant nuisance on Win7, where it happens all the time with any executables launched from a local server's share.I don't think the full lowdown on this bug/problem has ever been exposed.

The solution here is (for OFFICE 2010) OPEN UP WORD, FILE > OPTIONS > TRUST CENTER. Then click the TRUST CENTER button > Protected View, and UNTICK ALL 3 BOXES.Log out, log in and try open email attachments ! :)-Bill
