2.0.0.18296 - Prevent "Open File - Security Warning" at Startup?

[radium]

I upgraded to 2.0.0.18296 today and something got fragged during installation. Now whenever utorrent is started, an ""Open File - Security Warning" dialog is displayed. Unchecking "Always ask before opening this file" has no effect; it always is checked the next time I run uTorrent. As far as I can tell, uTorrent runs normally after I click on the Run button.

How can I prevent the box from appearing every time I run uTorrent? My OS is XP Home SP3 and it would be preferable to not disable this security check altogether, just for uTorrent.

Note: With some more testing I found uTorrent will start without the dialog if an associated .Torrent file is clicked on. The dialog box only appears if the .exe or a shortcut is clicked on. Unfortunately, I use VPNetMon 2011 to start uTorrent and its crashing due to the dialog box. If I could uninstall uTorrent and then re-install it, that would probably fix the problem, but I don't know how to do that in the case of uTorrent.

That's weird. You could go to the properties of the exe and hit Unblock.

Firon, as always, thanks for the help.

I didn't think to check the Block/Unblock status. Sure enough, uTorrent was blocked. The first attempt to unblock failed. Turns out, the .exe was "Read-only" as well. (That's probably why "Always ask before opening this file" couldn't be unselected.) Un-selecting read-only and unblocking did the trick.

For some reason the auto-update failed for me this morning and I downloaded the latest uTorrent update and installed it manually. Somewhere along the way I must have mucked it up...
