How to override IE active content restriction for local HTML files?

Hello,

Whenever I try to open a local html file that contents javascript, IE (6 on
XPsp2) pops this message and blocks scripts until I click the bar and select
"Allow blocked content"

"To help protect your security, IE has restricted
this file from showing active content that could
access your computer. Clic here for option..."

I design websites, so getting this behavior everytime I preview a local file
starts to become a real headache.

I remember reading somewhere that including a special tag in every HTML file
to be previewed locally could override this behavior. Does someone know how
to do this?

Thanks so much,

Guillermo Scharffenorth
 
In IE go to Tools...Internet Options...Advanced tab, Security section, check
besides "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer", click Apply,
click Okay.
