Ever since installing SP3 on my Windows XP box, I am greeted with the “Do You Want To Move Or Copy Files From This Zone?” nag everytime I try to move a file to a different location on my network. After searching all around, I have finally found a fix.

I will share it here with you all in case you also run into this problem.

Open Control Panel -> Internet Options.
Open Security-tab; mark the zone “Local intranet”, press the “Sites” button,
UN-tick “Automatically detect intranet network”,THEN
tick “Include all local (intranet) sites not listed in other zones” and
tick “Include all network paths (UNCs)”.

That’s it! Problem solved!
