With the new WinXP x64 version, we picked up a hurdle I need to get rid of.

When every I copy of move a file within my office network. WinXp 64 decides
to "protect me" and opens a dialog box asking:

"Do you want to move or copy files from this zone?"

This is really annoying and slowing me down with no purpose. Do they really
assume that people running the x64 version are novices that need this
interuption?

How do I kill this dialog box??

This isn't standard OOB behaviour. It sounds like you've been working with
IE's security zones, and have most likely added at least some of your LAN
locations into the Trusted Sites zone.

Open the Internet Options dialog (either from Control Panel, or under the
Tools menu in IE), click on the Security tab and review what "sites" (they
can include UNC paths) are in each zone.

It worked. Thanks Steve.

I was trying to keep track of exactly what parameter I changed within my
Security / Intranet settings, but lost track of that. I made it real open and
it works, so I am on to the next thing.
