    Default ActiveX control "Click to activate and use this control" message

    For IE users, we now encountered a "Click to activate and use this control"
    when the web page has an ActiveX Control.
    There is a compatibility patch that changes the default bahavior back to
    what it was prior to the April Security update, but it is only temporary.
    In the following article
    [url]http://capitalhead.com/articles/click-to-activate-and-use-this-control---kb912812.aspx[/url],
    it mentions that the workaround ultimately rests with the website designers
    and how they implement the controls into your browser. How do we get around
    it ?
    Thank you very much.

    With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
    necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
    land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
    overhead. -- RFC 1925

    It could turn out a blessing.

    Not that Igor would not know hwo to write a nice atl component,
    but arriving at a page I (that is other than from pigs) like to be suprised
    intuitively
    on what to do or what would happen, without being pushed into deactivating
    all but
    plain html rendering.
