Hi,

On my local intranet application, I am using

fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

and this causes a confirmation dialog to pop up everytime a user navigates to the screen and beyond...

any ideas bout how i can stop that????? i still need access to the local drive...but without these pop-ups :confused:

In IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level -> and enable everything for Active X. Now, never, ever user that browser on the internet, as it is now basically one huge security hole.

In other browsers, you can forget about it. ActiveX is IE only...

Two possible problems. First this may be the "all new non-infringing" IE 6 in which case you CAN'T disable the popup.

Second, due to IE bugs the waring about avoiding the open Internet with that security level may be wasted. The really sharp ones know how to make IE think their code is coming from a trusted site.
