I’ve been over this subject before; in fact, it’s a recurring theme. But it won’t hurt to summarize how to configure some of the security settings in Internet Explorer one more time. The table below gives some relevant pages at surfthenetsafely.com.

Configuring Internet Explorer
Description Applicable to Link
Adding Sites to the Trusted Zone Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Windows XP ieseczone7.htm
ActiveX settings Internet Explorer 6, Windows XP ieseczone6.htm
ActiveX settings Internet Explorer 7, Windows XP ie7configure.htm

In Vista, Internet Explorer 7 usually runs in protected mode except for trusted sites and is configured somewhat differently.
