Randy,
Changes to Local Machine Zone for Windows XP Service Pack 2:
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) adds a feature control for locking
down the Local Machine zone. The feature control is set through the
FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN member of the INTERNETFEATURELIST enumeration.
It is turned on by default for Internet Explorer (iexplorer.exe) and Windows
Explorer (explorer.exe).
In effect, FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN sets up a special Local Machine
zone-the Local Machine Lockdown zone. Within this new zone, seven URL
actions have different values.
URLACTION_ACTIVEX_OVERRIDE_OBJECT_SAFETY
URLACTION_ACTIVEX_RUN
URLACTION_BEHAVIOR_RUN
URLACTION_CLIENT_CERT_PROMPT
URLACTION_DOWNLOAD_UNSIGNED_ACTIVEX
URLACTION_JAVA_PERMISSIONS
URLACTION_SCRIPT_RUN
Looks like viewing the properties of a local JPG file in Internet Explorer
comes under section "URLACTION_BEHAVIOR_RUN", a new URL action flag added
for Windows XP SP2.
Workarounds:
Allow active content to run in files on My Computer - Windows XP Service
Pack 2:

-or-
Allow URLACTION_BEHAVIOR_RUN by tweaking the lockdown template itself:
URLACTION_BEHAVIOR_RUN corresponds to "Script and Binary Behaviors" Zones
value 2000
Open Registry Editor and navigate to:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Lockdown_Zones\0
In the right--ane, double-click "2000" and set it's value to "0"

When I open a jpg with Internet Explorer and I right-click it and select properties the Information Bar pops up and says "IE has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer." Active content? It's just a jpg. Does anyone out there know what's going on? Randy
