Thank you for the reply. I have tried this a few times with no help. Any other ideas or help would be much appriciated. TY

Thanks again for the response. I have update to IE 10 and back to 9 a couple of times. The problem remains. In fact, in IE 10 there are more issue in that I can't adjust my History and cache settings. I end up with the issue that the cache is stuck at 8 megs and can't be adjusted. I have tried the registry fix to avail. However, if I go back to IE 9 that problem go away. However, the problem w/ download .exe files turning into _exe remains in 9 or 10. Please continue to send Ideas! Thanks again.

Thanks for the second reply: I have the problem in or out of Private Mode. Deleting history isn't an issue. In order to download files with out changing the file name requires a reboot into Safe Mode (not really a practical option) each time. I would like a solution to problem. I already said I could reboot into Safe Mode to get it to work and, as I said, that really isn't a long term solution to the problem. Thanks again for your time and assistance.

Thank you for the replay. I tried both setting the slider to the lowest setting AND pressing default settings (pressing default sets the slider up a notch). Neither helped. Any other ideas? Thanks for your time.

Greetings, Whenever I try to download an executable file in IE 9, IE try's to rename it with a _exe. This does not happen in Firefox. It happens in Private mode. It does NOT happen in Safe Mode. The file is fine if I rename it with .exe . The file is not corrupted. Also, this keeps my from runing things that should run inside IE. I have downgraded IE to 8. I have re-upgraded it to 9. To 10 and back to 9 currently. I have reset it to default settings. I have disabled all extensions/add ons. I have tried different security and privacy settings. Any ideas/help would be great.
