Turning off .NET security

I am running Windows XP, and IE version 6.0.2900 on my desktop. It has the
..Net Framework Service Pack 1 installed on it. Security was turned off on the
machine using "CASPOL -s off". A .Net windows application has been deployed
on a Win 2003 web server.

When I try to launch the application through auto deploy
(https://www.myserver.com/myApp.exe), I'm being prompted "Do you want to run
or save this file?" with Run/Save/Cancel options. When I select Run, I'm
getting another prompt "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you
want to run this software?" with Run/Don't Run options.

Other desktops with the same configurations as mine are never prompted and
the application just runs. Which settings should I change/configure to
prevent the prompts?
 
Hi Mach,

Yes, the first "Do you want to run or save this file?" dialog is a security
enhancement of WinXP SP2. Please refer to the article below for more
information:
"How to Configure Enhanced Security Features for Internet Explorer from
Windows XP SP2"

"'The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this
software?" dialog is shown when you download an application from the
Internet and the publisher of the software has not digitally signed the
application. You should digital sign the Exe file to get rid of the dialog,
please refer to the article below:
"Automating Code Signing of Windows Executables"

Hope this helps.
