When I load a on my hard drive into IE as a file without using http, the
security level indicator shows "My Computer", not Local zone.

Oh? I've observed the opposite, and this would make no sense, the whole
point being that you trust your own resources more than you trust other
people's.
I think you may be misinterpreting the situation. The current security
level is based on the page currently in your browser. If the page in
your browser is external, a higher security level applies. A *link* is
subject to fewer restrictions (if any at all) than a *link* to a local
file, the whole point being that if an external page is trying to get
you to click a link to your own files, it might be because it's trying
to cause trouble.
