When downloading anything on my other computer, windows xp home and it is an exe
file, a pop-up notification will pop-up saying something about running exe's,
and then a check box will be available to skip the notification, or something
similar.  I will check the box, but every time after it will keep telling me the
same thing, and ask if I still want to run the exe file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download any .exe file.
2.Attempt to open it from the download manager.
3.Check the box saying don't show this notification next time you try to run an
.exe file.
4.Download another .exe file and attempt to open it.  The same notification pops
up every time, even after I check the box.

Actual Results:  
The same notification kept popping up.

Expected Results:  
The notification should no longer have been there.
