"Do you want to run this program?"
When you download a .exe and then try to run it, Windows (7) seems to want to ask whether you really did intend to run it.
Uh, yeah, I double-clicked the thing cause I was bored...

Anyone know how to get rid of the prompt?  It also seems to take a while to come up at times.  I know there's a checkbox, but it only applies to the same publisher.

RE: "Do you want to run this program?"
are you referring to the UAC?

If so you can go to CP > system and security> Change User account control settings and turn it off

No, downloaded EXEs (maybe only signed ones) - don't have the message exactly at the moment - will try once I can find it.
