I can't get rid of the information bar in IE6

I can't get rid of the information bar in IE6

Every time when I browse to:
- a local website on D:\ or C:\
OR
- a local website on my CD-ROM

I get the information bar which is warning me for active content.

I did some research and I found out these options do the trick:
Internet options - Advanced - Security -
Allow active content from cd's to run on my computer
Allow active content to run in files on my computer

I checked both the options.
Unfortunately it had no effect.

I also checked the registry keys and they had the right values.

Is there tweak software or something else that can let me get rid of
information bar?
Should I reinstall something?
Should I uninstall something?

Thanks in advance,
Bas

In what operating system?
If I look at the Information Bar Help, I see this:

To turn off Information Bar messages about blocked pop-up windows

Open Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up
Blocker Settings.
Clear the Show Information Bar when a pop-up is blocked check box.

That seems to work with XP SP2
You also have the option of turning it off completely, though it is
not recommended.

This won't do the trick. I think IE or SP2 is corrupted or something. I
can't turn off the information bar anymore.

From IE's Help:

Can I turn off the Information Bar?

Yes. You can, but we don't recommend it. If you do want to turn it off, you
have to turn it off for each type of message.

To stop blocking file and software downloads with the Information Bar

This procedure will allow Web sites to automatically prompt you when
downloading files and software (bypassing the Information Bar).

Open Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the Security tab, click Custom Level.
Do one or both of the following:

To turn off the Information Bar for file downloads, in the Downloads section
of the list, under Automatic prompting for file downloads, click Enable.
To turn off the Information Bar for ActiveX controls, in the ActiveX
controls and plug-ins section of the list, under Automatic prompting for
ActiveX controls, click Enable."
