Cause

By default, to reduce the risk of infecting your computer with malicious code over the Internet, starting with Windows Server 2008 with Internet Explorer the ability to download files is blocked.

Solution

To allow downloading files using Internet Explorer, you must edit the registry Windows:

  1. Start Registry Editor: click Start, click Run, then type regedit, and click OK.
  2. Locate and click the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3
  3. Find setting «1803» (type: REG_DWORD) and set value for it:
    0 — enable file download
    3 — disable file download (default)
  4. Restart Internet Explorer

The following archive ie_download.zip contains two .reg files: ie_download_enable.reg (allow download), ie_download_disable.reg (prohibit download). Import one of them into the registry, and all will done!
