It appears only IE5.5 has this problem. I just tested with IE5.0 sp2 and IE6 and both of those version prompt and wait for user intervention for readme.txt and then wait a second time while prompting to ask to open/saveas calc.exe. IE5.5 will prompt the user for the initial readme.txt but the next open dialog that appears for the .exe goes through immediately without user intervention and executes. I have tested 2 seperate IE5.5 systems(one was a new install with default IE5.5 sp2 settings) and they both execute the calc.exe file without giving the user a choice after the initial readme.txt dialog.
