Yes, CheckExeSignatures is a string value, and it was set to 'no'. I have
played extensively with all the settings. I have manipulated the ‘Zone\1’
values to where I can get the behavior to change for other settings, such as
URLACTION_SHELL_FILE_DOWNLOAD and others, but I still am unable to prevent
the ‘publisher not verified’ dialog box.

I can turn off activex controls all together by manipulating the Zone
values, but I can not stop the prompt.
