Does altering the ActiveX security settings in IE for the appropriate zone
help any?

i am attempting to publish the Visio Viewer on my Win2k3 SP1, PS4 farm.

since it is an IE plugin and not an actual exe (thanks for nothing
Microsoft), I am just publishing IE and taking the user straight to their H
drive.   They can browse for the file they want and double click it from
there.

But IE then blocks if from running because the document contains active
content etc.  Microsoft has suddenly taken an interest in my security and is
protecting me from bad things.  Their own product gets blocked as a security
concern but the other exploits march right in.

Anyway, the scary message scares my users and they then call the help desk
in tears.

It seems like there should be a GPO somewhere I can set to make IE play nice
but I can't find it.  Has anyone done this?  I could use a nudge in the
right direction if any of you have figured this one out.

Thanks!

Greg
