In that way, people who aren't used to scripts, who are new to scripts and all the other 'beginners' would still see the normal default way as it is now...
This is why I suggested the "advanced" hyperlink/button to reveal a hidden area of the window with this option.  I just feel this way it isn't as permanent as a registry setting
Either you are checking out scripts very regulary and thus a 'permanent' registry option is the best and most convenient, or either you don't regulary check scripts out and thus you can manually extract that script for that one time only.

the registry setting can perfectly be stored user specific.

Although both ways (registry option and your hidden link) wont prevent people from installing and thus running a script on a computer from sombody else as scripts are global and not user specific. So, your link isn't going to prevent that either. There's no difference in both methods regarding that.

I don't quit get that. The registry option can be read only once when the user signs in, it doesn't need to be read each time a script is imported as that wouldn't matter at all.
