Don't know what happened but... when I open a folder or file an IE dialog box pops up with the message "Are you sure you want to open a file from this location?" -how do I make it stop!

sounds like a security warning. can you put your computer in the Trusted Zone in Internet Explorer?
or go into Tools/Internet Options/Security and pick Custom settings have a look in there for what is set to Prompt. there is one for opening files across domains. maybe that is the one...

I had already set most settings from 'prompt' to 'enable' for troubleshooting, but it still acted the same. I went through 'add/remove programs' in Control Panel and uninstalled the patch from Q822925. Now it's working again. Maybe I will contact MS and see if there's some conflict somewhere.
