Need help freeing myself from Mother Microsoft's apron strings

[Harley Kieran]

Appreciate all that Microsoft does to protect me from myself, but,
......sometimes it seems like Bill nails my feet to the sidewalk to
stop me from crossing the street, ....thereby making it impossible to
get hit by a truck.

Problem:
I write the FrontPage programs, sometimes with a few JavaScript
routines in them. When I try to preview the programs in browser,
(usually) everything seems to work just fine, ....except, ....I keep
getting this really annoying message, ......
"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this
webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access
your computer. "
and have to keep clicking myself out of it, ...!!!every single time!!!

Questions:
Is there some way I can stop the Internet Explorer from restricting
full access to my files?
I've tried various
"Tools", ..."Internet Options", ..."Security", ..."Custom Level",
enable/disable options, but, .....I must not be doing it right.

Would some kind soul please teach me how to extract these particularly
frustrating nails from my feet?

VMT
Harley

This isn't working for me. I've added the "allow active content"
option, but I am still getting that error "to help protect your
security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running
scripts..." every time I look at a page that is on my hard drive. It's
very annoying. How do I stop it?
Thanks,
Lisa

Add a Mark of the Web to the top of your pages
<!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->

As soon as I checked the, ......"Allow active content to run in files
on my computer", .....under the Tools/InternetOptions/Advanced tabs
(and restarted IE) I no longer got the offending message.

Lisa,
I just read the article that Stefan B. Rusyn pointed to entitled "Mark
of the Web", and it's a much more elegant way to solve our problem.
It gets rid of that annoying message and does so without requireing us
to dump the basic protection.
Stefan B. Rusyn's message, ....a much better solution.
Cheers
Harley
