It just means you can't double click on them to open them in whatever program.

They should work 100% if you File > Open or equivalent in Repetier-Host/Slic3r/etc.

(By the way, it is a Microsoft thing, it's the Crypto Shell Extensions, it's just not installed on every version and every copy of Windows.)

I download STL's on Win7 all the time.

Check what the file handlers are setup for .stl as - theres no certificate involved in STL download, so I would suggest that you have a Browser or OS file association for .STL.

Try using a different browser, which often will ensure you have a clean list of handlers...

It has to be something in windows 7 because I do not have any problems with my wife's windows 8 machine
