Add a local path to IE Trusted sites
I have a local xml /xsl webpage, which saves data to a backend system via an ActiveX element. The problem is that I always get the microsoft ActiveX security warning despite the page being on the local file system. Normally I would call the file with the path file:///C:/Programme/Mobil e/zXML/XML Output.xml . However, if I try to add this path to the local intranet security settings (sites), IE won't allow me. Instead it want's me to correct the path to
file:\\localhost\Programme \Mobile\zX ML\XMLOutp ut.xml (127.0.0.1)
but when I try to open this path in IE, it doesn't find it.
I have installed a certificate and signed the code but this hasn't made any difference.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong??

This doesn't really help, but thanks anyway. What I've since discovered is that there is another 'hidden' security zone called 'Local Machine'. There it is possible in the registry to reset the URL Action URLACTION_ACTIVEX_OVERRIDE _OBJECT_SA FETY from URLPOLICY_QUERY to URLPOLICY_ALLOW.
Details on the Security Zones are at:

I do hope you read all the cautions, etc.

Perhaps the HOSTS file is a solution if normal processes fail; perhaps a redirect from there or adding approved links will help.
