Hello,
I have a desktop pc WinXP Home SP2, which I recently restored back to OEM Windows/OEM apps install. Now my javascript is blocked. Here is the message:

To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options...

Allow Blocked Content...
What's the Risk?
More Information

I personally made the html page, I get this error message every time I open it now, but I never got it before running the restore process.

Here is the code, it merely opens the Print Dialog Box automatically (harmless enough!):

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print()
</script>

Please help by telling me what to get/download/install to make the message go away and simply run my script??

Thanks so much.

This quick fix is to just click on the pop-up bar and select "Allow blocked content...". The permanent fix is to adjust your security settings within Internet Options. That can be found in the Control Panel or under the Tools menu in Internet Explorer.

Once you have Internet Options open, click on the Security tab. Now click on the "Internet" icon if it isn't highlighted already, and then click the "Custom level..." button. In the Security Settings window that opens, you can pick and choose what is allowed, warned about, or denied from running. You want to look down in "Scripts". Once you are set there, click OK to close. Be careful what you enable. Not everything is good to allow. Change these settings at your own risk.

Also, for sites that you trust explicitly, you can add them to the trusted sites list.
