The problem I am haveing is not about turning off ActiveX, but turning
off Active Content. How to do this? Also, how to turn off ALL Information
Bar features?

ActiveX is Active Content.

Not according to the Information Bar. What I am doing is developing web pages.
I have onMouseOver clauses in hrefs, for instance. When I pull up my page
right from my hard drive I get an Information Bar message that it is blocking
active content. The status line in the browser does not display the
onMouseOver
text content, but rather the path to that page. If I tell the Information
bar to allow
the Active Content to run, it then allows the display of the prompts in the
status
line. Also, it will not run Java Scripts for the buttons on the page until
I tell
it to allow active content to run. But...if I go into Tools, Internet
Options, Security,
Custom and set Automatic Prompting for ActiveX Controls to Enable as per
Information Bar Help, the same thing still happens. Yet...if I pull this
same page
up from our Web Site, I don't get any Information Bar, and the page works
as it should.

The Information Bar cares about many forms of Active Content. Client-side
scripts are one form and ActiveX controls are another. But make no mistake,
ActiveX controls are most definitely active content.

Thanks for the reply. Obviously, in that sense ActiveX is active content, but
in my situation Active Content is not ActiveX. In other words, even though
I told IE to Enable Automatic Prompting for ActiveX Controls, which is what
the help file says to do to Turn Off the Information Bar for this, I am still
getting the Information Bar, and I have to tell it For Each Page to allow
the Active Content. This interferes with my work. What I need to be
able to do is to default IE to allow the Active Content (Java Script material
on my pages). The weird thing, as I said in my previous post, is that this
problem happens only when I click on the page's Icon in an Explorer window
or tell my HTML editor to bring up that page. If I upload that page to our
site, and pull it up through the Home page, I don't get the Info Bar and all
my scripts work. This Microsoft "Feature" impedes my work, and, obviously,
since it does not happen when I pull up the page from the "real world" of
the live Internet, it is useless as a Security measure anyway. Is there
a way to turn it off so that during page development, I don't have to deal
with
it each and every time I pull up the page-under-development?

Thanks,
