Hi I have managed to turn of the yellow information bar about activex controls. But this only works for outside files. When I load htm files from my local hard drive the information bar comes up. How do I disable the information bar for local files. (Note: All the appropriate settings ENABLE activeX, ENABLE downloads have been set)
Thanks
