Default Running .bat and .exe in Excel

I upgraded from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003. In Excel 2000, I could run .bat and .exe using objects inserted in Excel that were activated by a macro command. Now when I run the same program in Excel 2003, a message comes up asking me if I would like to open the .bat or save it to my computer. I just want the external program to run without this interuption.

There is a question at the bottom of the screen that is checked "Always ask before opening this type of file", but it won't let me uncheck the box.

Is there any way to disable this warning?
