How to get rid of ActiveX warning message annoyance/irritation

Because of security concerns, I have ActiveX turned off except for
trusted sites. Many web pages include ActiveX controls, and on every
visit to such a page I have to click on the "OK" button in response to
the following warning message from IExplore:
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on
this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly."

I'm pretty sure MSoft made this message non-disableable, with the
intention of wearing users down through incessant irritation until
they eventually just start letting ActiveX run.

Does anyone know if there is any way now or in some future improvement
that this message might be disabled? I grow weary of this
foolishness.
 
Look at the number of posts here about things that are obvious spyware
invasions <g>

Basically I only have download unsigned and script "not marked as safe"
disabled.but the other 3 settings for signed stuff turned on. That way the
warnings only appear for crap like Gator and Comet etc.

I can't answer your question but can say these settings work for me.

You might consider putting some regular sites in the trusted zone to cut
down on the nuisance... there's a great utility for this here.

One click once you are on the page and it's trusted....
