Disable activex controls popup warning

I will only need to run this on my local machine.

In your internet option setting, go to the security tab, click on custom level, where you will see a few active X control setting, choose all active X control to be enable.

Hope this wil sovle the prob

REgards

Also I have seen it where in IE, Internet Options, Security, if you have the security level set to Medium or higher you will get these errors. I had that problem until I moved my security settings to low. But make sure this is ok before you do this....I dont know what security level you need.

refering to my previous comment, by enabling all active control to be enable, unsigned active x control which sometme can be dangerous will be downlaoded as well. My suggestion is that create a custom profile for all active x setting to be enable and save it. Whenever you wanted to use your power point select this secuity profile and while you are on the internet choose back the normal profile.

Altthough a little bit thoruble some but just to be on the safe side

I have already enabled everything earlier but that didn't solve my problem. The warning message is still there. The warning message popup everytime when the javascript try to execute the 'file = new activeXObject("scripting.fileobjectsystem")'

Any new ideas guys?

-Okay if I understand correctly, you're running this from your local machine ?
-In security options add 127.0.0.1; your local IP, or any other way you reference this to the trusted sites list.

Housenet, I've tried that but it didn't work as well.

what version of IE and powerpoint that you are using, i might afraid it has soemthing to do with the scripting

IE version 5.00.3315
Office 2000

Did you enable "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" in security | custom settings?


reg file:  copy this file (beween the stars *******)    into notepad and select "save as type: all files" then name it    activex.reg  and save to desktop.
Then right-click activex.reg and select 'merge'

shekerra, if i do this, can I unregister it later?

Yes of course you can -

How to unregister then?

you can manual go to this key in yuor registry and remove or edit the value of each string there

REgards

You could also just make another reg file - like you did above and switch the value back to 0

It doesn't work. The warning message still appear after I've added the registry.

posting here for two reasons:

1)  to remove from pending delete status, as it doesn't work.

2)  there is another user with a similar problem that pointed me here, wondering how this was done with cookies.  eric, if you get this notif, please visit this other q (or if anyone else knows how):

Thank you all.

I had the same problem. The modifying of the registry suggested above is a good idea.  Honestly, I didn't know what it did from the code until I surfed around more for a detailed answer. Here's my try....
It sounds like since you need to run a file from the local filesystem, all the tinkering to Internet options would be fruitless because the four visible zones: Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted Sites, and Resricted Sites don't affect the local filesystem.  It is affected by the fifth and hidden zone of My Computer. I believe this reg file suggested above makes it visible, but you still need to go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Internet Options then Security Tab and select the newly visible My Computer and enable the ActiveX controls. That should do the trick...
Here's a script and some links I found on my trek to finding my solution.
