Disabling zone identifiers in XP

Anyone know how to disable zone identifiers (aka streams) in XP SP3? Because starting about 3-4 months ago some stupid Windows Update patch seems to have broken the old method to disable them, which was:

Run gpedit.msc
Goto: User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
Enable: Do not preserve zone information in file attachments

This no longer works. And using SysInternals streams.exe to remove them is not the same as disabling them. 🙁

Anytime I dl a file I get the retarded: "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer." message in the properties.
