Disable IE8 enhanced security on Windows Server 2008

Having managed to resolve my Win2k8 0×8007232B activation error I wanted to download some software from CodePlex to my new SharePoint development server but the download link would not work as it kept getting blocked by IE8.

In other versions of Windows you could remove the Enhanced Security through add/remove programs in the control panel but not on Win2k8.

I eventually tracked it down to the Configure IE ESC option in the Security Information section of Server Manager. Restarted IE and everything was as I needed.
