If you mean "Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls" literally, I have no setting labelled in those words either under the <Security> tab or under the advanced settings.



- Tools -> Internet Options -> Security tab
- Select "Internet" security zone.
- Click the Custom Level button (might say "Medium" or another string if you are using a preset level). It is the left one of the two buttons within the "Security level for this zone" section within the Security panel.
- First section is titled ".NET Framework-reliant components"
- Second section is titled "ActiveX controls and plug-ins"
The first option in the second section is titled "Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls". Set to Disable. Now you'll get the infobar drop-down instead of the popup window.

Nope ... I don't have "Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls". I have only those options that I previously stated.


For me, the About dialog in Internet Explorer says that I am using version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519. Maybe you are using an older version of IE. Probably depends on whatever version of Windows that you use. I have Windows XP.

Well, there's the answer. Your IE is the XP-specific version. Mine is the (latest) version for Win2K - fully updated via Windows Update (shows as 6.0.2800.1106 SP1 Q823353)

Looks like MS finally provided some relief from this pest but didn't bother to support earlier OS's.
