IE 7 blocking simple html files

I have just downloaded and installed IE7.

It is causing me more problems than IE6 with the Information Bar popping up
with the message:
--
To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file
from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for
options.
--

The file I am trying to see is a simple .html file on my computer to link to
my Websites

It has NO Scripts or ActiveX controls in it. So I cannot see why it is
failing.

I have tried to use Internet Options/ Security to add my Local Intranet or
somehow get IE off my back, and just do not seem able to type in the correct
code into the box "Add the website to the zone".

So a simple question - " How can I stop IE 7 from being such a nuisance?".

(snip - wrong newsgroup)

You should post your question in the IE7 newsgroup *after* you spend
some time reading through the posts there. The IE7 newsgroup is:

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

There are a huge number of posts so it would be smart to start by going
to Google Groups Advanced Search. Use a search term that describes your
problem, constrain the search to the IE7 newsgroup and the date to very
recently. You can also check MVP Sandi Hardmeier's canonical IE7 site.
Sandi has workarounds, known issues, troubleshooting, and links. This
may be the only site you need.

And no, I'm sorry but I don't have your answer or I would tell you
now. ;-)
