OK this is driving me INSANE.

I installed MS Security Pack II this week.
I am a web developer, and preview my pages locally every few minutes while
in development mode.
With the new Security Pack, IE is constantly blocking the most benign code -
I have to manually allow it each time, and so far I have been unable to
decipher the security settings to allow the content to display without
promting.

So far, it is blocking simple javascript and Macromedia Flash movies but
only when viewing the file locally. It seems to be alright if I upload the
file to a server and view it this way.

How do I disable this prompting. I have tried a number of settings iunder
Security, but it still blocks.

Thanks
 
You may consider it "benign code" but perhaps others (including MS) have
other opinions. Best get your reading glasses on and see...
