Hi
Mama and Papa XP made it very difficult (it seems) to make revisions to system files. The one I am focused on is shdoclc.dll. I am one of those people who does not like flash embedded ads. There are a few ways to deal with it, but i prefer disabling Active-X.
However Microsoft always annoys those who don't wnt to look at ads in their browsers by constantly popping up a messge that says:
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly"
It is like "Helllooo I know that, this is why I turned them off. Do you really have to remind me evry single time???"
So instead of having an option that says "Disable eternal warning pop up" you have to get inside shdoclc.dll, remove the offending line, to make the pop up message go away.
But there is a catch. It is a 'system' file (let us all take a moment to worship the 'system' file!)
Short of doing a convoluded dance by restartig in DOS to overwrite the old file with the revised one, is ther some way to put this on the fast track?
thanks!
