IE7 blocks Spry Menubar

Question

With IE7 deliberately reset to default manufacturer's
settings, I preview my page containing a Spry Menubar and a pop-up
warning at the top of page states "to help protect your security,
Internet Explorer has prevented this page from running scripts or
active X controls... etc". Obviously I can click to allow, or I can
adjust the settings to allow, but I want users to be able to run
the page without having to do that. Firefox works fine, of course.
I tried running a copy of the page without the widget and no pop up
block occurs. Does that mean I cannot use this Spry widget if I am
to avoid hassle for IE7 users? Any help much appreciated.

Another solution, available in Dreamweaver 8 and CS3, is to
use Commands
> Insert Mark of the Web on affected pages. This inserts
a snippet of
code that stops IE from complaining. Although leaving the
snippet of
code in your page does no harm, you can remove it by running

Remove Mark of the Web just before uploading your page to the
remote server.
For more information, Google "Mark of the Web".
