Remove "Open File - Security Warning" on any file for good!

As part of my new shiny, I've been installing latest drivers and software...

Now one thing I've been getting really annoyed with Vista is the "Open File - Security Warning" dialog box.

There is nothing wrong with it as such, just when I click the "don't ask this again" check box to true, I'd expect it to NOT ask me again!

Anyway, I did some hunting and found this gem, thanks Jimmy Brush...

Now that's all very good if you have one or two files asking me this question, but I had a few more!

So I created this for ya'll...

It's just a bat file that will ask you for it... I'd like to have added a link to it, but hey you know what theses nasty .bat files can do... So for transparance here it is in full naked glory... Enjoy
