As more and more net vandals dream up new ideas I keep cranking
up security settings, this time turning off ActiveX scripting.
That results in an unending flood of popups:
Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls
on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly.
That's true, that was the point of turning it off.
Searching the web for ways to turn this off turns up people who
have searched for years to get rid of this and not just lower
security.
Some folks claim this is hard coded into shdoclc.dll and that you
can hack this file to get rid of the warning.
Then I find
http://www.newbie.org/common/turnoff_activex.html
"Disable" ActiveX instead of "Prompt" warning pop-ups (Advanced Users ONLY)
In the c:\windows\system directory is a file called shdoclc.dll
Copy that file into another directory since it cannot be modified
while Windows is running.
Using Resource Hacker You can open that file which you copied into
another directory and search along the String table to delete the
line to prevent those warnings.
That claims to kill the silly warning. shdoclc.dll is still part
of Windows and the warning message is still in there, the file has
just been moved into system32 now.
Anyone else post SP2 successfully followed these directions and hacked
this file to get rid of the endless stream of these pop up warnings?
And I suppose this will need to have the copy in dllcache fixed too.
Thank you
