Hi. Just installed SP2. Something I don't understand. I can open www.stargazing.net/mas/index.htm no problem. But if I open the
local copy of this web site (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mas\index.htm) I get that information bar not allowing the JavaScript code to
execute. Why? Under tools->Internet Options->Security->I've reset all icons to their defaults.
 
http://members.tripod.com/semper.fi/ieze/ has a simple utility to allow the
"My Computer" zone to show also (It's hidden by default) and having seen a
couple of odd behaviors I am wondering if there's a setting in there which
is being applied to some machines.

I mean there could be other reasons but this is a safe thing to try and
easily allows comparison between zones.

There are two entries in internet options..advanced tab..scroll down
to security and check allow active content to run in My Computer.
There is also one to allow the same to run from CD's.

Good idea, Charlie. But works for pre-SP2 systems. SP2 incorporates
LocalMachine Lockdown via another registry key.
