Problem - when going to certain sites, like majorgeeks.com and starting a
download,
Internet Explorer blocks the download. I have to click on the blue toolbar
to allow it.
By the way, does anyone know why Majorgeek.com warrants this block ?

Running XP Pro - all updates - IE 6.0.2900.2180 and don't want to upgrade to
IE 7.
I know there are other browsers out there, but I do like IE up to a point.

I went into Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - clicked on Trusted
sites - clicked
on the Sites button - and typed in *.majorgeeks.com

Now when I go to Majorgeeks.com, I immediately get a Security Warning
telling me
"The current Web page is trying to open a site in your Trusted sites list.
Do you want
to allow this?" - and I have to click on Yes. The download does work now
without
the block.

How do I get rid of the Security Warning every time I go to the site, or how
do I set my
security settings lower so IE doesn't bug me any more. If I go into the
Security Setings,
and try to Reset the custom settings to anything below Medium, it always
goes back to
Medium.

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox You'll never use IE again if you try
Firefox, which is free.

You might rework your Internet and Trusted zones levels. It should be pretty
seemless. Set Internet Zone to High and Trusted Zone to Medium then work
backwards re-enabling downloads, meta refresh, simple scripting (fourth from
bottom of list) etc. in the Internet Zone but leaving off the ActiveX stuff
etc.. You can also get a utility from Microsoft which enables you to quicly
add a site to your Trusted Zone:

[Internet Explorer 5 Power Tweaks Web Accessories]

It works with IE6.
