How do I turn off the active X control?

I am trying to convert my powerpoint presentation to web page (HTML) but when
I open the web page file that I've converted, there is an active X message
that prevents the web page file from opening. I know I can click the "allow
block" function but is there anyway I can deactivate it? Perhaps it is set
when I am working on my file? Cos I am sending this web page to lots of
people and my animations are v simple so I don't know if I can just turn this
off. Pls help, thanks.

Sorry for not giving much details! Basically there are a few messages.
Immediately when I double click to open the web page file, internet explorer
is launched but 2 things come up. A yellow top header and below it, this
message comes up:
"This presentation contains content that your browser may not be able to
show properly. This presentation was optimized for more recent versions of
Microsoft Internet Explorer.

If you would like to proceed anyway, click here."

Once I click "here", the message disappears but nothing happens. I click on
the top yellow banner which says "To help protect your security, internet
explorer has restricted this file from showing active content which could
access your computer. click here for options..."

When I click on it, it gives me 3 options - "allow blocked content", "what's
the risk?" and "Information bar help". When I choose "allow blocked content",
I still don't get to see my presentation, but a security window pops up and
says "Allowing active content such as script and ActiveX controls can be
useful, but active content might also harm your computer. Are you sure you
want to let this file run active content?" I click on "Yes" then finally I am
brought to the web browser and can see my file. But when I click on the slide
show icon on the bottom right of the page, the same yellow banner appears
("To help protect your security, internet explorer has restricted this file
from showing active content which could access your computer. click here for
options...").. there are just so many steps for pple to view my ppt file
which is converted to web page. How can I create a simple ppt file that does
not have all these?? Cos it's quite impossible to teach pple these steps
(some being v computer illiterate and just wants to launch my show to watch)
thus I prefer to save a version of ppt that does not use activeX then. Is
that possible? Thanks for your time!

Thanks, Steve for your comprehensive explanation.. in other words does it
mean that if I use ppt2html, the painfully troublesome activex warnings won't
show? Also, does this mean double work to get the souds to work? I've tried
to email you but not sure if I'm reaching you there. If you don't get my
email, can you pls drop me a note at (e-mail address removed)? Thanks!
