Here is another way to take care of this problem.

Registry Option:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesAttachments Set SaveZoneInformation to 1.

NOTE:

0 = Not Configured

1 = Enabled

2 = Disabled

You can also set this via Group Policy at the User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager node. Enable the "Do not preserve zone information in file attachments" setting.

Can you put that in a reg file? That is not the format I used to seeing. I'm used to one of these formats. 

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1" /v "Flags" /t REG_DWORD /d 219 /f

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Open up notepad. Copy and paste the code below into notepad. Then save the as whatever.reg and change the save as type to All Files. 

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\CurrentVersion\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;"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerDownload]
"CheckExeSignatures"="no"

But this worked just fine:

OK so to completely remove that annoying window on XP SP3 with IE7, this should do the trick:

@echo off
:: disable security warnings
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0" /v "1806" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\1" /v "1806" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\2" /v "1806" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3" /v "1806" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\4" /v "1806" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3" /v "CurrentLevel" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\4" /v "1806" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

You wouldn't want that line here, read the description:

This zone contains Web sites that could potentially damage your computer or data.

I'd change that to

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\4" /v "1806" /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

(the default) or delete the line.

Thank you. I fixed that now.

You don't necessarily want to do that for any zone other than the required zone(s), and I'm guessing that's 1 (Local Intranet) and 2 (Trusted Sites). There's discussion about which zone is which, and what almost all of those values mean, in KB182569.
