Click to activate control - XP IE security update


Recommended Posts

There was some security update for Internet Explorer for XP which makes it so you have to activate a control to use it. Its great for security, but its darn annoying. I have to click things twice to do the thing I want. Is there anyway to disable this functionality?

I also find this very annoying, but I don't think there is a way around this unless you go to a different browser. But I am not about to give up my IE for another. If anyone knows if this can be turned off without setting the security settings all the way down please let us know.

It wasn't done because of security.

it was done because some small patent company claimed to have patent on using active content in webpages and how they open in browsers.

So they sued MS, won and no MS can't automaitcally acticate content except though ActiveX or somethign, either way you now need to click on stuff to activate it. of course they also only sued MS.
