Which IE setting is javascript?

M

MsOsWin

Does anyone know *which* Internet Options setting allows javascript? I set almost everything Disabled (a few Prompt), but isn't javascript
safe (with AV and hardware and software FWs).


XP SP2, patch/updated

-------------------------
FYI, I'd rather leave js Disabled, but....
Although reasonably paranoid, the person using the computer isn't terribly good at sensing the more subtly flaky stuff on the web, so I'm
trying to keep IE as restrictive as I can. The problem is that so many sites like to use js just to open full-size images! (Doh! No need for js,
cuz I can use Right Click, New Window/Tab!).

I Googled a bit, receiving no hint of an answer... and I'm too tired today to continue Googling more creatively...
So, TIA...

to run js, *activex* must be diddled with? that's truly "sad". that's like operating a nuclear reactor in the pantry just to provide a
little electricity to power some light bulbs in the house at night... :)
