How To Allow Blocked Content on Internet Explorer

If you are fed up of having to "Enable Blocked Content" in Internet Explorer each time you want to view a web site then follow these instructions. This way, you won't get the annoying message: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer".

Steps to configure Internet Explorer to always allow blocked content

  1. From Internet Explorer, select the Tools menu, then the Options...
  2. In the Internet Options dialog, select the Advanced tab...
  3. Scroll down until you see the Security options.  Enable the checkbox "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".

    Click on the checkbox "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" so you don't have to select "Allow Blocked Content" each time you view an HTML page containing scripts.
     
  4. Close the dialog, and quit Internet Explorer.  The changes will take effect the next time you start IE.

The Blocked Content is a security feature of Windows XP Service Pack 2.  If you do not have it installed then you will never see this message.
