I bet it has something to do with M$'s MOTW (Mark Of The Web) bull....

There was someone around here a while trying to explain the rational
behind it. Since IE is also your file management tool Windows Explorer
there has been a long, and successful I might add, history of folks
finding ways to trick IE into thinking its in one mode when in was in
the other allowing the black hats to sneak all kinds of junk onto the
Unsuspecting system. So IE run *more* restrictive with web pages on a
local hard drive!
