Killing the "You should only copy files from trusted sites" warning in Windows XP

Why did Microsoft not put in a “do not show this again” checkbox?

This warning pops up when you copy from a non-trusted shared network drive. The way to make it go away is to add “file://hostname” to the trusted sites in Internet Explorer’s security preferences. Because that makes perfect sense.
