Hi Nedummy,

When you make changes to the "Internet" zone on how IE handles ActiveX
controls in "Internet Options" it applies to every web page you will ever
visit. This leaves your computer vunerable to folks with less than noble
intentions... :)

If you open Tools, Internet Options, Security tab, and click "Trusted Sites"
you can add web sites that you know and trust, giving them less severe
restrictions.
Note: if all your sites do not begin with HTTPS you will need to uncheck the
box that says "Require Server Verification".

You can then set a "Custome Level" for trusted sites by Clicking on it the
Trusted Sites icon (on the security tab / previous screen) and then clicking
"Custom Level". But, just adding a page to trusted sites should do the trick
as the default level is pretty trusting...

You should also click on "Internet" and click "Default Level" to reset the
security for that zone.

Hope that helps.
