"Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content"

[Opinicus]

I use Word (from Office XP) to create and edit the HTML
pages on our website. A recently added page has a funny
quirk in it that I can't figure out. When I open the page
with Internet Explorer from my hard disk I get this warning
message:

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

But if I access the page from the internet I get no such
warning. The strange thing is that, so far as I know, there
*is* no "active content" on the page. I certainly didn't add
any knowingly.

It's a minor annoyance really but I do wonder what is
causing this behavior. Any ideas?

Thanks Ramesh, the "HTA" extension workaround--uh--worked.

Happy New Year.
