How Do I Disable Internet Explorer Warning Popups?
I guess that is what you would call these things anyways... You know... those messages that pop up the first time you go to a secure site after logging in with a new profile. The most common one is the one that says "When you send information to the Internet, it might be possible for others to see that information. Do you want to continue?" And then it has a checkbox that says "In the future, do not show this message." Well, when I click on the checkbox to enable the "In the future, do not show this message" IT STILL APPEARS!! It keep reappearing because of the security software I have installed (DeepFreeze), but if I can disable them through the group policy I wouldn't have to worry about them again.
Is there some registry key or something I could put into my group policy to stop these messages from popping up on all of the computers on the network every time someone goes to a page that requires them to send info over the net? There are a few other messages that pop up similar to that one. The only other one that is REALLY bothersome though is the Internet Explorer popup blocker included with SP2. Is there a way to stop that message from popping up the first time it blocks a popup saying "A popup has been blocked. Click the popup bar at the top of the page for more info blah blah blah"?
Usually for something like this Windows makes a file in your profile or something after you click the checkbox to ignore the message the next time, and that will stop them from popping up again. I haven't been able to find anything like that though. So maybe there is a registry key for it or something. I just would like a way to disable these messages once and for all on all the machines on my network.
Thanks.

Actually, all of the computers have the Google Toolbar. What I did though, which I should have done before but I just didn't think about it, is go in to the group policy and disable the windows pop-up blocker.
What about the security messages that I mentioned though? Is there a way to stop all of those from appearing?

Ok, I've got another problem now. Since I disabled the Windows pop-up blocker now the Google toolbar pop-up blocker's message about blocking a pop-up appears when it blocks the first pop-up. How do I stop that?
Sorry, I didn't see your post before adecold. That looks like what I need to stop the security warnings, but how can I do that in a group policy so that I can set it network-wide? Maybe I should ask this in a Windows Server 2003 forum?

Within IE - tools - internet options - privacy - pop up blocker - settings
Try pasting the links in there to allow them, close IE reopen test.

XP SP2 blocks many ports by default.
You cannot change the name of a port by using the Netsh.exe tool in Windows XP Service Pack 2

You have to specify certain Group Policy settings before you can remotely administer Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) or remotely edit local Group Policy objects in Windows XP Service Pack 2

Web server functionality may not work correctly after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2

No I haven't heard of IEAK. It looks interesting though. I suppose I could make the security changes I want w/ it and then just push out the updating packages to all of the clients. Does it work like the Office administration kit?
Quite similar; here are some links:

I'm getting a wierd error when I run the program the first time. It's trying to download the components, and it keeps saying, "The wizard has detected that the following component did not download correctly: IECIF.CAB The component did not download correctly because the data is not digitally signed, and therefore cannot be verified as trusted. blah blah blah..." If I click 'Yes' to ignore the error it pops up again for the next component as well. Am I supposed to be running this on an XP machine? I have it installed on Windows Server 2003. When I installed it I selected the corporate administrator version. That's the one I should I selected, correct?
Preparing to Customize Internet Explorer
You can make a wide variety of changes to Internet Explorer to fit your needs. You can modify the setup program, preset Internet options, and make visual changes. If you're a corporate administrator, you can control, or "lock down," many important settings to prevent users from changing them. If you're an ISP, you can provide sign-up solutions for your customers.
Digital Signatures.... details here. Sorry to be so short, but this is my day to finally spend time with my family.

So you have to have a certificate to use with it? That really is a pain in the ass. I'm not worried about untrusted sources modifying the internet settings on my clients. That should be optional, not required.
I'm not going to pay a company for a certificate for this. I'm going to need a different way to change those security settings on my clients. There has got to be a registry key or something that I can change in my group policy to accomplish this.
You can get back to me tomorrow if you would like. I'm not in that much of a rush.

Welcome to the world of microsoft, as far as i am aware you cannot get around this, due to the increase in security now-adays, which in some cases is a good thing, especially on a windows machine.

Ok, that leaves me back were I started. Is there a key in the registry that I can modify and add to my group policy to disable these security messages, or is it buried deep in IE where I can't get to it any other way besides with the IEAK?

BINGO! Thanks, man.
In IE, select Internet Options, Security. Select the zone (ie Internet) and click Custom Level. Set the "Submit nonencrypted form data" to Enable. This option can also be set with GPO : Windows Components/Internet Explorer/Internet Control Panel/Security Page/Internet Zone (or another zone) and then "Submit non-encrypted form data"
Grime121,
I've read all the post until your "Bingo", but I do believe that you didn't solved all the issues.
I just have the same error here after installing a Windows 2008 Server R2. When using internet explorer 8, when submiting "non-encrypted form data", was getting the message "When you send information to the internet, it might be possible for others to see that information. Do you want to continue? Don't show this message again"
When they choose DON'T SHOW THIS MESSAGE AGAIN, the message always keep appearing.
I solved this using REGEDIT, and changing ALL the key "1601" to 0. The 1601 key is correspondent to "Submit non-encrypted form data" value of IE (all versions).
After that, just restart the IE and BINGO!
Hope can help other users.
Best regards,
Paulo Franzoni aka DEFT

Btw, I needed to change via REGISTRY because at IE Tools/Internet Options/Security/Custom Level was NOT able to change the value from PROMPT to ENABLE.
