Automatic prompting for file downloads in ie9

With IE9 this setting is not available in the old location. If you have developed a custom Web page that launches a ClickOnce application using Active Scripting, you may find that the application will not launch on some machines. Internet Explorer contains a setting called Automatic prompting for file downloads , which affects this behavior.

This setting is available by clicking Custom level The property is set to Enable by default for intranet Web pages, and to Disable by default for Internet Web pages. When this setting is set to Disable , any attempt to activate a ClickOnce application programmatically for example, by assigning its URL to the property will be blocked.

Under this circumstance, users can launch applications only through a user-initiated download, for example, by clicking a hyperlink set to the application's URL. Has anyone found a workaround for this issue, or where they have moved that setting?
