Suppressing the information bar

[David Schwartz]

How can I suppress the (very annoying) information bar that surfaced in IE
with XP SP2? If, at the very least, make it silent.

Thanks,

Launch Internet Explorer and from the toolbar select:
Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Pop-up Blocker Settings
and select your desired notification level settings.

David,

When does this happen, and in which site? Information bar may appear for many reasons (pop-ups, ActiveX, automatic download prompts etc. etc)

The sound you will find in Sounds and Audio - Sounds as the one for
Windows Explorer - Information Bar

The main setting for it may be the one in Internet Options - Advanced,
under Security, for 'Enable Integrated Windows Authentification', but I
am not sure, and it is a bit difficult to test reliably. Give it a try

It (IE-IB) can only be disabled by "Lowering" Security levels in the
appropriate Zones (Not Recommended). See the following for more
information on IB.
