I hope this counts as a developer issue…
(since I’m a developer and of course am always testing stuff on IE…) I just don’t know where else to ask…
IE8/7 is driving me nuts with that security bar that pops up; I have managed to get rid of it for most situations, but now what happens is it only appears when I load a local .html page, not when I’m viewing a website on the internet… how can I get rid of it for viewing local .html files please…
thank you very much…
Yes there is a way to get rid of it! Just follow the instructions below:
Go to “Tools” > “Internet Options” > Advanced > Go down to the “Security” section > and Select “Allow active content to be run in files on My Computer”.
Then hit the apply button, close it and try it again, no more security bar! 
oh man… finally!! thank you very very much… I was looking in
Tools" > “Internet Options” > Security
instead of “Tools” > “Internet Options” > Advanced >
will engrave this in my head…
