In the start menu enter gpedit.msc. Then go to:

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Attachment Manager

and Add *.exe to the "Inclusion list for moderate risk file types" setting.

The solution is to put the directory where it belongs such as C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse-java-galileo-SR2-win32\eclipse this the removes the open file security warning dialog. c:\Users\UserName\AppData\LocalLow directory must have similar security as the intranet zone.

Is it possible that one of the other files (maybe a dll) is blocked?

Streams from Sysinternals is a handy command line utility which can be used to display NTFS streams on all files in a directory and sub-directories. It can also be used to remove all the streams (assuming that they are all just Zone.Identifiers)
