Turning off IE8 Security on server 2008

Is there any quick way of turning all of that Security BS off after you
insall IE8 on server 2008? I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is
when all I want to do is go and download a service pack from MS's site and it
repeated blocks and denied access to downloading stuff. I tried to adjust the
custom security for Internet and intranet and its all greyed out. Never had
this problem with IE7 on server 2008.
