Well I get prompts whether I have auto-prompting enabled or disabled. How
do I get rid of the prompts? That's all I want. Active-x disabled and no
prompts...

You may have to wait a day or three to get a reply, if any. Remember
this is the holidays. Many participants here do have lives outside of
Usenet so they're not around at the moment. That means responses are
slowed.

IE advanced settings:
- ActiveX controls
Automatic prompting
Disabled = You get the yellow infobar.
Enabled = You get a popup dialog window.

Neither setting gets rid of a prompt. It only changes what kind of
prompt you get: infobar or popup window.

Since you don't want to be prompted about them, presumably you also
don't want AX controls to run within IE. What happens when you set:

"Run ActiveX and plug-ins"

to Disabled?

When I disable active-x and plug-ins, I get a yellow info bar at the top of
active-x sites. I want active-x disabled and no bar, is this possible? And
sorry about the new thread, somehow I thought my other one had been dead for
2 weeks, but turns out the last response for 3 days ago.

My next guess is to disable "Download of AX controls". There is this
option for both signed and unsigned objects. The default is Prompt and
maybe why you see that infobar. If set to Disabled then maybe the
browser will quit seeing that the web site is offering an AX control or
no longer prompt you that they want you to get one.
