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.

I beg to differ. This is a standard message right after you upgrade interenet
explorer to 7. This is a time wasting message and should have never been
written. Internet Explorer 7 shouldn't have anything to do with my desktop,
folders, or files. This message is doubling my work load.

IE7 is not installed OOB. My point about OOB behaviour stands.

I avoid installing IE7 on machines that don't have it as far as possible
(in much the same way that I avoid using IE* as a browser as much as
possible), so my experience with it is limited to Vista and WS2008 boxes.
Where it does not produce such a prompt by default.

I would still suggest reviewing the IE security settings, because I can
copy/move files around from my computer to and from my network on Vista
without getting security zone related prompts from IE7.

Steve,
I got the same problem after installation of XP SP3 over my XP SP2 with IE7
already installed. It worked fine before, however, I'm getting this terrible
dialog box each time I'm copying files across the LAN or from LAN to my PC. I
tried all settings of zone security, nothing helps. I think that I'm doing
something wrong. Can you provide me step-by-step instruction what I have to
configure in IE options to get rid of this box?
Thanks, Pavel.

There's a number of solutions outlined in this thread:

depending on which particular form of the problem you're experiencing.
