Disable the "'X' is an app downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" dialogs.

No, there is no way to disable that. It's a vey basic security feature. That said you should see it exactly one - when you open the app for the first time, or after an update, for the first time. Are you seeing it more frequently?

I can't quite follow the question's details ... but make sure you are not opening a downloaded app from the mounted .dmg. If that is the case, copy it to the /Applications so that alert should appear only once.
