Hi Phil,

The "Mark of the Web" method is the recommended advice (as in the MS site) for Web designers. As you're testing the web pages locally, this workaround applies well in your case. Your system is vulnerable only if you enable the "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" check box in Internet Options. http://www.winxptutor.com/lmzunlock.htm

hi Ramesh,
Thanks for taking the tine to expalin things to me.
After setting all that I could thru Tools>options, etc,..., I do not egt the 
warnings anymore, however after reading MS stuff on 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/productinfo/XPSP2/securebrowsing/lockdown_devimp.aspx I 
an more comfused than before.
So now I have no popups which is fine, but at that cost does that mean that 
I am (my pc) is vulnerable to attacks?
MS as usual is unhelpful but all being said thank you for your hindsight

Hope that helps,
Phil

Hi Phil,
It's not be the pop-up blocker, but the Information bar which appears for 
many other reasons. One of the common causes is that the HTML page 
containing javascript or initiates ActiveX control. Use the "Mark of the 
Web" workaround as said in my site. Adding the "Mark of the web" code will 
run the page as if it is under Internet Zone.

Thanks to you both Frank and Ramesh.
Frank I forgot to mention that I run spybot as resident.
Ramesh that solved it or I'm sure it will short of uninstalling sp2. the
problem is that I run the web pages from a local drive, ie:
c:\...\index.htm. What I do is test the web pages this way before testing
them within a broswer using IIS before uploading them (to
http://uk.geocities.com/philippeoget/a2z/), and I find it a little stupid
that MS should consider web pages ran from a local drive to be dangerous as
opposed to from the internet say.
My point is that I have turned off the popup blocker for http addresses but
still get them for the locally run pages C:\..\index.htm?
Not very logical isn't
Thanks
Phil

Hi
Compag Deskpr0, pent II, 128MG RAM, XP Pro : SP2, IE 6
Recently I installed some updates, didn't really paid attention I'm afraid,
and now there is that rubbish in IE6, constantly beeping and warning me of
active X's even though I am running my own web pages from a local folder not
even using IIS or PWS.
I have tried reading the help file and disable all that I could through
Tool->Options and I even disabled popup for the local computer as well,,
still that stuff pops up (I though the idea what to prevent pop ups!!) and
beep and ennoys me a very big deal.
In short does any one know how I can remove that rubbish and the registry
entries etc..?
Thanks in advance
Phil
