WM6 "device restricted from downloading this file type" error in IE

[nforsans]

I get this error message each time I want to download any file using IE on WM6 - a pdf document, a cab file etc.

Am I the only one? can you try following a link pointing to a file using IE?

I am using WM6 Black edition 1.2 on the TyTN.

bTW, I've never seen that message on official WM5 roms, and my telco operator may have more of an incentive to restrict downloads than kyphur or whoever cooked the rom. Is there a cab out there that would lift the restriction?

thanks for your help.

Just an idea: haven't you installed an exchange account (mail) recently? I know that Exchange Server may apply some Security policies on a device, that is connected to it...

Check the reg keys for IE, there is something in the useragent which is stopping certain mime types from being downloaded through the broswer.

This feature has always been available but most operators didnt use it.

yes I have. thanks for the pointer...

Is there any way of lifting this restriction without removing the Exchange account?

So no one has a solution for this?
