launching hta files from IE

[Michael Lawless]

Are there settings in IE 5 and IE 6 that would allow a local HTA file
to be launched without any security warnings. I am working on Windows
2003 Server but need it to work on all IE5 and IE6 instances. I have
tried various settings and cannot find a setup that works.

The page with the link to the HTA file will can from a 'Trusted Site'
and consequently have a custom setting if required, though this is not
desirable.

TIA

Michael

Thanks David,

The situation is that the HTA is currently installed on the local
machine by a Microsoft application. The html page is served from an
intranet/trusted source and as such the browser setting would only
need to be changed for 'Trusted Sites'. I understand the security
issues but for a 'Trusted Site' this should not be an issue given that
the user has actively added the site into its trusted list.

Do you know of configuration that would allow for the user not to get
the prompt.

Thanks,

Michael
