To start things off:
I was struggling with an issue today where I couldn't get the downloaded Java documentation (in html format) to run properly on Vista. :wacko: IE7 kept thinking it was in the Internet Zone, all images were missing and the links to other local html files simply didn't work. After searching in all kinds of settings, and looking for information on the 'net, I stumbled into the solution (looking at the file properties...). It turns out that the downloaded files were tagged as being having been downloaded (an obscure NTFS flag), and IE7 treated them differently because of that.

Here's a link to the information that helped explain the problem, and the linked Streams tool works great!

Of course, if I could get accustomed to using Firefox (which ignores the blocking flag) instead of IE then I wouldn't have had the problem, but I'm just not there (yet?).
