ActiveX

chwa · September 21st, 2003, 02:07 AM

Hi

IÂ´m developing a web adminstration site for a friend where itÂ´s possible to create your own web pages, copy/create documents etc. on the disc.
I use different types of ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") to handle those different actions.
The problem is that I allways get an "anoying" prompt that says:
"An ActiceX control on this page might be unsafe...."

This Admin site will not be published to the Web.
It should be installed an runned on the hard drive (C:\WACH\).
HeÂ´s op is WinXP Home Ed and my is Win2000Server.

Is there a way to "avoid" this prompt without affect the security settings for the Internet?

Hi there,

You can add the site (most likely http://localhost) to your Trusted Sites zone in Internet Explorer which you can find on the Security tab of the Options dialog.

When you add the site there, and then tweak the settings for that zone, you can grant the localhost site the correct rights, without giving other sites on the Internet the same rights.

Cheers,

Imar

Hi again
Thanks for your answer!
Yes, i added the site to the Trusted Sites zone in IE on the win 2000 server machine = works pretty well. Still have some "small" anoying prompts that appears when iÂ´m creating new web pages (dynamically) with FileSystemObject. The prompt doesÂ´nt appear in static pages.

But I still have problem implementing the site on my friends pc, running WinXP Home Edition. In WinXPHomeEd thereÂ´s no IIS and you cannot install a PSW (Personal Web Server) so I have some difficulties to add a site to Trusted Internet Zone (for a site that runs on the local pc). Or do I something wrong?? The ActiveX prompts doesÂ´nt disappear at all!
What to do? Is there a way to permanent kill this prompts when they appears on a trusted site?

My hair will soon fall off

Pages opened like this run in the "My Computer" security zone. You can change the settings as for any other zone but by default it is not visible. Michael Harris wrote this script which modifies the registry so that the zone appears with the others. Save it as showMyComputer.vbs and double click (You may have to patch wrapped lines). Alternatively read the code and change the appropriate registry settings by hand.

Code:

'=====================================================
'Exposes the "My Computer" Internet Zone on the
'Internet Options | Security tab to allow custom
'settings for local HTML files...
'
'See the following MS KB article...
'
' Description of Internet Explorer Security Zones Registry Entries
' http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q182/5/69.asp
'
'In general, there's a "My Computer" security zone that is
'normally not displayed by IE in the Security dialog.
'This KB article explains the various registry keys and
'named values that have to do with IE security.
'
'=====================================================

set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")
'=====
'Changing this under the HKLM makes it effective for all users
'at next logon...
'=====
HKLM_MyComputer_key = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0\"
valuename = "Flags"
shell.RegWrite HKLM_MyComputer_key & valuename, 1, "REG_DWORD"
'=====
'Changing this under the HKCU makes it effective for this user
'immediately and at every logon...
'=====
HKCU_MyComputer_key = "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0\"
valuename = "Flags"
shell.RegWrite HKCU_MyComputer_key & valuename, 1, "REG_DWORD"

msgbox "The 'My Computer' security zone is now visible in the IE security dialog."

wscript.quit

if you rename the page to HTA instead of HTML it would have worked and you wouldn't need to Change security settings, add trusted IPs or change registries heheheh

REMEMBER KISS!!

Keep It Simple Stupid!

just change htm to hta! one char :P
