Hard drive as a trusted site

[Tonio Shiroi]

I am a web page designer, and running scripts from my hard drive always makes the information bar popup. I wanted to add my hard drive as a trusted site, so the computer will always allow me to run the content on its own drive without the messages asking me. How do i do this?

Do you mean a firewall? If so, which firewall

I think he refers to the information bar that comes with SP2, which says "Do you want to run ative x controls?", or "pop-ups blocked". I believe there is a way to disable the information bar some place in the internet explorer options.

yea, the im talking about the information bar. I know that you can disable it from asking you, but i only want to disable it for my hard drive. I went to trusted sites in the security, and tried to add my C:\ drive, but it said that i had a wildcard sytax error or something. Is there another address used for homedrive so i can try using something else?

I also tried file://* , file:///C:/* and C:/*, and it didn't work.

im not entirely sure if its possible to add a local disk as a secure site, only thing i can recommend is adding the site your working on to the "safe list".

just go into the advanced area in internet options, it is under the security area when you scroll down i think.
