IE8 File Problem on Local Internet

Yesterday 5/4/2009 I was running IE6. Using WinXP Pro SP3.

Today 5/5/2009 I installed IE8. Everything went just fine, no
problems.

NOTHING else changed on my Dell Desktop.

We have a Fileserver, where docs are stored. I have shortcut on my
desktop to folders on Fileserver.

Yesterday (with IE6) I could open any JPG Image file in my Paint Shop
Pro 8.

Today (with IE8) when I try to open any JPG Image file, I get a dialog
with the Title "Open File - Security Warning"

Text = "Do you want to open this file?" - Name: (name of JPG file) -
Publisher: Unknown Publisher - Type: Paint Shop Pro 8 Image - From: \
\Fileserver....... (path to where the file is located).

I stress again, NOTHING has changed on my Dell Desktop, EXCEPT
installation of IE8.

How do I get rid of the dialog?

I suspect it has to do with *Local Internet* Security Settings. By the
way, Microsoft Tech Support could not fix the problem using their
share-desktop tool.

I get the same feeling that the security zone settings reset to default when
you installed IE8. Have you tried changing the settings?

Yes. In fact all Security Zones have been customized (Microdunce has
some really dumb default settings).

As I said, even Microsoft's Tech Support, via their share-desktop
tool, could not find what setting was causing the problem.

It would be nice if someone could figure out why a JPG that is
associate with Paint Shop Pro 8 should be seen as "Unknown Publisher"
and how IE8 is acting on that.

If you use MS Help & Support, IE, search you can come up with looking
at Internet Properties, Content, Publishers, but that's looking at
Certificates. Certificate for Paint Shop Pro?!!!

The bottom line, WHY would IE8 see ANY document over your *Local*
Internet as unsafe. Why do I get the dialog for a JPG file but not
for a MS Word DOC?

Does it happen if you have the "Local Machine Lockdown" feature enable?

Tools||Internet Options||Advanced(tab)||Security(section)

Remove the checkmark in the box next to "Allow active content to run in
files on My Computer"

Good luck,

Microsoft Support found the solution.

1) In the Trusted Sites Security Zone, make sure "Launching
applications and unsafe files" is *enabled*

2) Add our Fileserver to the Trusted Sites list


I now see that this "problem" is a demonstration of the *increased*
security IE8 provides.


On a side note. As of late, I am very impressed with Microsoft
Support. On the last 3 occasions where I needed help, they were
tenacious in finding a fix.

It is obvious that Microsoft has revamped their Tech Support. It is a
big improvement from the days of no-help tech support.
