Allow Blocked Content - Permanently!
Internet Explorer(IE) has always sucked harder than a black hole. With Windows XP SP2, IE sucks harder than Hillary Rodham at a Juneteenth parade. But I have to use it at work, and I'm so sick of this insipid application trying to save me from myself that I'm ready to start killing strangers.
"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing Active Content that could access your computer."
Like I'm some housewife playing on a PC without the master's permission. If you're sick of getting this condescending admonition, then change Internet Explorer to permenently allow blocked content as follows:
1. Select Tools - Internet options.
2. Go to the Advanced tab and scroll down to the Security section and check the little checkbox labeled "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer."
Bueno suerte.

Thank you. I really appreciate the suggestion. It's been driving me crazy too. The settings were changed in some update.
