Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)
I've got Win XP Pro (with all patches) and I've written
a simple .htm file, shown below. My IE 6 insists on
showing me the information bar ("To help protect your
security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from
showing active content that could access your computer.
Click here for options...") each time I double click on this
file, and it is bugging the heck out of me since it takes
THREE ADDITIONAL clicks to actually get a file
showing properly (even one would be too many). For
anyone doing development work this is a horrible
situation.
If I click on the "information bar" (should be called
content bar, since it's barring content) help, about 1/3
of the way down it tells me that I can "stop blocking
file and software downloads with the Information Bar"
by going to Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security
tab -> select My Computer (which I've enabled to be
shown by reading http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315933
and then changing HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\
Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet Settings\Zones\0\
Flags from (hex) 21 to 47)
Then click Custom Level. and 'under ActiveX controls and plug-ins' ->
'Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls' I clicked enable.
In addition, under the Advanced tab of Internet Options,
near the bottom under the Security section I have checked:
Allow active content to run in files on My Computer.
None of this has worked for me.
Can someone advise me where the appropriate setting is
to get rid of this massive annoyance. I'm even happy
adding the list of files (or maybe a directory) that I want
so enabled, but the current situation is really awful.
Thanks,

sample newin.htm file (remove onclick line, and
the information-bar no longer blocks):
<html><head><title>New Window Test</title></head>
<body>
<a id='foo' target=_blank href='newin.htm'
onclick='document.links[0].href += "?bar=baz"
>Hi Mom</body></html>
