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
----------------------------------------------------------------
Now coming to the issue, IE may show the Information bar if the local HTML
calls any of the above items (ActiveX, Scripts etc). Even a simple script
such as the "Add to favorites" cause Info bar to appear, when the HTML is
opened locally.
Workarounds:
Use the "Mark of the web" option as explained here:

So, I finally broke down and installed SP2. No major problems, everything appears to work fine. But, I have a few aggravations with the new security and IE. First, when I go to a website to download software, the download box doesn't pop up, I always have to click the "if your software download doesn't begin, click here" link. Ok, so that's a small aggravation. But, I have my own little homepage that's only located on my computer, not on the web. It's just a neat little thing I wrote up in simple HTML code that has my useful URL links on it and so on. Whenever I visit some websites on the net and then click back to my own personal homepage I get this stupid message from IE security, "To help p;rotect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..." So, I close the Informaton Bar box and Click here for options and tell it to run the freaking file. Next time I open IE and go back to my personal homepage that's only located on my personal computer, wham I get that stupid message again. Does anyone know how to turn that off? There are no script files in my personal homepage, it's just simple HTML code. I find this so aggravating. Thanks. Patty
