'About to initialize AcitveX controls that might be unsafe' when using owc

Hi there.
I'm using the Office Web Components 11 in an Excel 2003 spreadsheet.
Whenever I open the spreadsheet, I get the 'This application is about
to initialize ActiveX controls that might be unsafe' warning message.
As the activeX control is a microsoft control, shouldn't it already be
marked as 'safe' ?
Is there a way to mark this control as safe to stop these messages from
appearing (short of modifying registry).

Cheers,
Andrew.

There's no way. You can inform your users to set the appropriate security
settings in Internet Explorer. Any activeX that runs in IE will prompt a
security warning otherwise.
