Help!!

I have a mock web site on my hard drive for use in a business presentation.
I have a shortcut on my desktop to this mock web site. I have IE7 configured
so the "site" comes up and the ActiveX controls and scripts run fine without
any information bar or security warnings.

But when I call that same "site" up in IE7 within my PowerPoint presentation
(Office 2007/Vista Ultimate) using an "action" setting, I get an ActiveX
information bar and security warning. I have done everything I can think of
to try to defeat them, including all the recommended "trustworthy" settings,
but still the ActiveX information bar comes up. And when I turned off ALL
the security settings associated with ActiveX, I get an information bar
warning me that I have done THAT.

How can I get this mock site to come up clean within PowerPoint the way it
does from the shortcut on the desktop? I will be eternally grateful for the
magic solution. Thanks...

IE may be smart enough to work out whether it was invoked by the user or by an
application and if the latter, tries to "protect" you.

How exactly are you invoking it? Which action setting are you using?
