Hello. I want to allow my users to download .doc, .xls and such, but prevent
any executables form being downloaded. Is there anyway to do this?

Unless you are using IIS (I think there's a policy setting with that), I
don't know of a way with IE alone to prevent .exe downloads. You could have
a look at this little app:
http://www.filedudes.com/Exe_Lockdown-download-34867.html
You could try this little registry trick - add this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Plugins\Extension\.exe
For the key, just keep the default name, and add any value - say.
notepad.exe
You can add just about any file extension there, not just .exe to the
\Extension\ tree
Then when a user tries to download an .exe file, they'll just get a
placeholder (that little white box with the red square, green circle & blue
triangle)
