Enable local scripts and flash in ie7

Question

I'm running an old little app which runs in the browser from local files, and I keep getting the, "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or Activex controls that could access your computer" message.

Is there a registry setting or something I can tweak to allow it to run automatically?

I'm aware of Mark of the Web but it is not practical in this case (neither is running in Firefox, unfortunately).

Answer 1

you need to add the local file system (file://*) to the safe websites in the security settings.

Answer 2

Internet Options > Advanced > Security > Allow active content to run in files on My Computer

Answer 3

It's in Internet Options > Advanced > Security > Allow active content to run in files on My Computer.
