Blocked content in ie6 SP2

[Shane Nation]

I am using XP SP2 with ie6. When I run a demo which is stored locally on the
hard drive by clicking on a htm file I get the follow message in the yellow
banner bar at the top of explorer. If I right click it and "allow blocked
content" it all works fine.



"To help protect your security, internet explorer has restricted this file
from showing active content which could access your computer"



Is there anyway of allowing the local file to run, with out this warning
every time, but without compromising my internet security?



Thanks

In IE go to Tools...Internet Options...Advanced tab, scroll down to the
security section, check the box by "Allow active content to run in files on
My Computer", click Apply, click Okay.

Hi,
There are three workarounds for this. In this case, I'd go for #1.
1. Rename each .HTM file to .HTA while it's still on your HD. HTA files
aren't as restricted.
2. Give each page the "Mark of the Web"

3. Internet Options> Advanced> Security> check "Allow active content to run
in files on My Computer ."
You will, of course, be giving up some of the enhanced security of the XP
SP2 update.

Hope this helps,
