Re: SP2 Information Bar appears on every page

Hi Jan! Thanks for the reply. I already did reduce the security options to
nothign and allowed any and all active content. I allowed ActiveX and
everything else. It still didn't work. What is worse is I did try to turn
off the Info Bar and it had the same results. I am close to switching over
to Mozilla Firefox because this has become a huge pain. I have tried every
route, but no luck. I tried repairing IE6 with sfc /scannow but that didn't
work. I really have no idea what else to try. Any other suggestions?
