HI,

Inside my HTML file I run the following VB script to unzip a certain file:

<script language=VBScript>
set objShell=CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.Run("unzip ""d:\documents and Settings\lev\desktop\HW03339_20061224_P3104_py.zip"" -d D:\WINNT\Temp")
</script>

All works well,however during opening the HTML file (it runs the above script) I get a warning :

"An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interract with other part of this page.Do you want to aloow this interraction?"

How do I get rid of this warning ?

Long live king Moshiach !

You don't - that's the broswer's security kicking in. Imagine what would happen if you could execute any code you wanted on the clients machine without asking for permission first...

Since you're running this script locally rather than through a web server, try this help from a TT expert:

To turn off the "feature" in IE that prevents scripts from running on local files:

1) tools
2) internet options
3) advanced tab
4) scroll to security section
5) check the "Allow active content to run in files on my computer" box.
