Solve IE Security Options to Download Files Without Asking

In summary, the individual is explaining their frustration with having to constantly download .tiff files at work and dealing with multiple pop-ups in Internet Explorer. They have found a way to disable the pop-ups but it affects all websites, and they want to only disable it for a trusted domain. They do not want to switch to a different browser.

At work, I often have to download .tiff files to work with drawings. Sometimes when searching through these drawings I have to download dozens of these files rapidly just to shuffle through them. Every time I click the view button, IE gives a pop-up saying that the website is trying to download something and has been stopped. I then have to approve the download and then reload the page every time I want to view a file.

I have figured out how to tell IE to download files without asking, but it does this for every web page and actually has three pop-up on startup of the browser and a another pop-up on every web-page telling me that my browing is not safe and I should change them back.

I want the browser to download everything from this trusted domain, and not ask any questions. I also don't want to be told that the browser does not think this is safe.

I don't have to option of using any other browser, so please no comments on the wonders of some other web-browser.

This is really frustrating.
