get IE to allow local files into trusted zone



I use a default "home page" which is stored on my E: drive. It includes some active content that I wish to have available ALL of the time, mostly mouseovers. It works fine with my default browser, which is not IE. On the few occasions when I must use IE6, I get the following security warning when I go to the 'home page':-

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..."

How do I tell IE to ALWAYS allow this 'site' or page to use active content. The site is actually a local file, NOT on the internet, or intranet, but located on my own E: drive. 'Internet Options - Security' only seems to want to include WEBSITES into the various zones, sites preceded by 'http'.

Please tell me that there is a way to allow IE to display this page with full active access, without having to compromise security from outside sites.


Thank you -- Gil.

If you get the facts first,
You may not need to reconstruct your hard drive later!
