Hi Jan Il,

Firstable, thank you VERYmuch for your help and interest.

I have successfully disabled the popup blocker for several internet sites,
but the problem seems to be that I'm trying to browse some web pages in my
hard disk, and it doesn't let me add these "sites" to the list, since they're
not actual "websites" :-(

Do you know if I can add a "local" file to the exceptions list? If so, how?

About the applets not running, I have installed Sun's java, but IE6 warns me
of potential risks in my own files! I know there must be a way to tell IE
these are harmless applets, but I can't set the internet security settings to
lower tha "Medium" It says this is theminimum recommended setting for this
area and doesn't let me set it to "Low"...

I can't understand why, even if I wanted to harm my system it would be
impossible! This is not the case now, since what I want to run is a set of
applets that demonstrate my work to potential customers, and I wouldn't want
to corrupt my own system :-)

The problem is that the fact that the files reside in my hard diskis
preventing me from showing them in IE!! No fun, really.

Any solution to this scenario?

Regards,
Vito.

PS: 100% agree about smiles! :-))
