After instaling XP Service Pack 2 on my home computer, IE no longer lets me
modify security settings for the Internet Zone.
In Tools/Internet Options - Security Tab, I tried the following:
a) I click on Default Level and then move the slider to Medium-Low. I get a
warning suggesting that this is a bad idea and IE forces it back to Medium;
it will not let me override.
b) I click on 'Custom Level' and in that dialog I choose "Medium-Low" from
the pull-down menu and click 'Reset'. It seems to take but when I come back
there it still says Medium.
c) I go to custom level and do various radio buttons. This seems to work,
but...
I have set all the active content options to either enable or prompt. But
for at least one web page I am still getting the message:
'To help protect your security, IE has restricted this file from showing
active content that could access your computer. Click here for options...'
I appreciate Microsoft's concerns about security, but how do I get control
back?
Please respond by e-mail...
