Any way to disable "ActiveX disabled" dialog?

[Jon Danniken]

Hello,

Whenever I go to a page with ActiveX, I get the following message:
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this
page. As a result, the page may not display correctly."

I have to click "OK" to make it go away, and it is getting rather tiring.
Is there any way to suppress this dialog without enabling ActiveX?

Thanks,.

Jon

Not that I know of. Unless you don't mind a flippant response, like; use
another browser.

If you want to avoid the prompt you have to enable ActiveX in Internet
Options\Security. It would be unwise to do this unless you have previously
installed a good firewall and anti-virus program together with software that
blocks dangerous sites. For example

The OP specifically stated that he did not wish to enable AciveX at all.

Norman,

If you use TruProtect malicious Active is blocked.

Norman,

If you use TruProtect malicious Active is blocked.

But that still requires AciveX to be enabled, yes? If the OP is happy with
enabling ActiveX, I guess that would be ok; but he stated that he wants to
keep it disabled.

Personally, I don't want to run another process, just to keep MSIE happy
with enabled ActiveX. Personally, I don't want to enable ActiveX for the
Internet zone. Ergo, I don't use MSIE at all (except for the Windows Update
site). Firefox doesn't carp about disabled ActiveX.

Thanks, Norman. I do use Mozilla for the increasing number of pages that
won't work with IE, but ti's still too clumsy (for me) for general use.

It's too bad there is no way to disable this dialog; some websites (like
Yahoo) are extremely unfun to surf through, having to constantly dialog, but
oh well.

Thanks again,

Jon
