IE Enhanced security is important on the server as it will prevent most spy-ware from getting installed. You can actually leave it installed and just change one setting in the IE Security Tab Internet Zone called "Launching applications and unsafe files" to Prompt (recommended).

Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. Add/Remove Windows Components Scroll down just a bit. Take the check mark out of Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration. Click Next Click Finish

I used the security tab under internet options and the lowered the security for local intranet since that is where I had the problem and it works fine now.
