"Allow active content to run files on My Computer" ie6,7

I often use HTML files on my computer so I enable the security
setting: "Allow active content to run files on My Computer." However,
at least once a day that setting becomes disabled of it's own accord.

Is this a virus or a bug? I cannot see a pattern as to what might
cause the setting to keep changing unexpectedly. I have now set up a
shortcut to redo the registry since it happens so often and is so very
annoying for me.

What can I do to enable this setting and keep it that way? I now have
IE7 but had the problem with IE6, too, using Windows XP, Home Ed., SP2.

Thanks,
Rick.
