how to stop 'click to activate and use this control' message ?

[Michael Taylor]

I'm accessing a local intranet website which runs microsoft project
webserver.

When I move around within the project I constantly have to click on areas of
the page where it asks me to 'click to activate and use this control'.

Is there a way to tell internet explorer thats it's ok to run these controls
without clicking on them first each time ?

I've tried various activex security settings but none I tried had an effect.
I've also been through internet explorer's help and on the knowledge base
but couldn't find anything about the message.

Thanks for any advice
Mike

You have to get the pages in the intranet site rewritten to avoid using the
methods that trigger this behaviour in IE.

This is due to the Eolas update. You'll have to get the site designers
to modify their sites to prevent this from happening. They should know
all about it.

Dan, thanks for your advice. The project webserver is microsoft software.
Perhaps its an outdated version and I'll have to wait for a new one. I don't
know if it can be customized or written by anyone, perhaps just configured.
Interesting!
