How do I disable the ActiveX prompt in IE?

[Marker0077 0]

I totally disabled ActiveX in "Internet Options" but now whenever a site tries to use ActiveX, I get this prompt that says "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly."

 

Anyone know how to ditch this pop up message? I get it all the time (even on non-dagerous sites, including these forums) & it's really annoying.

 

FYI,

#1 I want to use Internet Explorer, not Opera, not Netscape (lol), or anything else.

 

#2 I have n00bs in this house. If they got prompted with a "HIT OK OR YOUR COMPUTER WILL BLOW UP!!!!" message, they'd hit okay & next thing you know, spyware galore is installed - screw that.

This is a good question.

 

I have to use a third party app to do so.

 

Anyone who has an answer is #1 in my book

Not to troll here, but if you don't use ActiveX, you should really at least *try* either Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox, I think you'll be impressed.

 

Just try it for a few days...

Well I do have a solution to this problem, but it is a bit advanced.

 

Check out this website:

You should be very careful when modifying your files though, but if u really want to get rid of that prompt thats the way.
