An incredibly obnoxious "feature" that seems to have come straight from Vista is 10.5's warning box the first time you open any application you downloaded:

"[program name]" is an application which was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? "[program name] is on the disk image "[disk image name]". Safari downloaded this disk image [day/time] from [place].

And then there's a check box for "Don't warn me when opening applications on this disk image" as opposed to "**** and don't ever show this again."

Sorry, but I'm a little frustrated with this "feature." Is there ANY way to shut it off permanently?
 
Alternatively, you can make an Automator action to run this script

Code:
on run {input, parameters}
	
	repeat with i from 1 to count of input
		
		set thisInput to quoted form of POSIX path of item i of input
		
		do shell script "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine " & thisInput
		
	end repeat
	
end run

And save it as a Plug-In in the Finder.
