thanx Steve, that's what I thought: it's either IE with - or without - ActiveX, so if it's needed, only allow the servers' browser to very restricted areas (localhost, windowsupdate, etc).
it's selling the idea of allowing IE to have ActiveX enabled on the server at all that's the clincher. Best practices 'n' all.... cheers barry.b > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve > Onnis > Sent: Monday, 5 September 2005 2:26 PM > To: CFAussie Mailing List > Subject: [cfaussie] RE: security and disabling ActiveX in IE (sort of > OT...) > > > dont have an XP box on me but i am pretty sure there is a > "Trusted Zones" > section in the security bit of the internet settings.
