Closing the window does the same as clicking 'OK'. Blocking ActiveX must still be done using the normal security settings. (The only way to stop the plugin once one has reached the pointless dialogue is to kill the iexplore.exe process.) > It's pretty bad design to give the user a choice with only one > option.... I think this is deliberate. Faced with having to add a pointless legal contrivance, MS have made it as obviously stupid as possible. Perhaps this will encourage web authors to update. -- Andrew Clover mailto:and@...desk.com http://www.doxdesk.com/
