What can I do to prevent IE7 from blocking my own home webpage?

Hello folks, I have a question regarding restrictions on my home
webpage.
Every time I move from any webpage on the net to my home webpage in my
HDD I get a block message in IE7 saying:
----
To help protect your security, Internet Explorer stopped this site
from installing an ActiveX control on your computer. Click here for
options.
----

I know what this message means, but what bothers me is that the page
being 'blocked' is my home page.

What can I do to prevent IE7 from blocking my own home webpage?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
You're encountering the "local machine zone lockdown" feature of [XP] SP2.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...7150.aspx#EHAA

There are three workarounds for this:
1. Give your page the "Mark of the Web"
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537628.aspx
2. Rename the .HTM file to .HTA. HTA files aren't as restricted.
3. Internet Options> Advanced> Security> check "Allow active content to run
in files on My Computer ."
You will, of course, be giving up some of the enhanced security of the XP
SP2 update.

Hope this helps,
Don
