I have a NAS, nothing special. I'm running Win7 on my desktops.

I went to my NAS, to grab some .txt files off of it, and copy them to my desktop.

I highlighted the .txt files, and right-clicked them, and instead of getting the right-click menu where I could click copy, it said something about my internet settings prohibited opening those files. WTF? This didn't happen last week.

Edit: I can double-click to open, or right-click to copy, any of the files individually, and they will open or right-click just fine.

Only when I click the top one of the list, hold down SHIFT, click the last one in the list, and then right-click on the highlighted items, that I get the warning about opening them. If I click OK on the warning dialog, then I get the right-click menu.

sounds like some sort of a glitch. have you taken both of them down, and back up? have you installed anything on either of them? are they on the same workgroup/domain now?
