disable Warning?

[Bill]

Is there anyway to disable the warning that says, "Your current security
settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a results, the
page may not display properly."

I have activex disable for security reasons but its a pain having to click
this OK message box all the time. Like every page now uses some type of
flash component, which means almost every page I have to hit ok before I see
the page.

Help...

as far as I know the only way to get rid of the warnings is to
re-enable what you have disabled

Rats, I was hoping someone would have an answer, this bugs me too.

I understand your feelings on ActiveX, as signed controls are not even safe.
Here's what I have been doing... It's not a solution, but at least you can
get your point across to those sites that are "demanding" the use of
ActiveX.

Send an email to all offending websites that the use of ActiveX controls in
webpages poses a serious risk to Internet Explorer security, and that there
are HTML-only ways to accomplish what their (lazy) web designers are doing.
Or switch to Mozilla/Firefox which doesn't support ActiveX, and even Flash
can be disabled, with no warning dialogs.

I don't like netscape's browser at all and I don't think there would be any
way to get every single company using flash to change there web site for me.

That message box has to be the worst idea ever. They already put a script
error message in the status bar why would you want a Modal dialog box. I
could see even if it popped up once per website but you can go back to the
same web page and get the stupid message box every single time.

I wonder if there is any filtering software that will remove the ActiveX
plug-in tag before it gets to IE. If that was the case then IE would never
show the box. I will look around.

I can't believe that we can not prevent the warning window from popping up.
Bill Gates, it is annoying as hell! It is not acceptable to "allow the
activex controls" to do their thing--security risk. Maybe the only answer is
to get rid of IE and use Opera, Mozilla, Netscape 4.xx, or something else.
