DVDs and CDs in a tube

I am sure that many of us by now would have built up a pretty impressive collection of CDs and DVDs, but somehow or rather displaying them on a rack just doesn't quite make the cut any more due to the lack of space. If you don't have that much of an emotional attachment to your CD and DVD jewel cases, you can always remove their content and index them into the BlueDot Divita BDM-100S storage tower. This high-end CD and DVD storage system can hold up to a hundred discs and accessed via the high resolution 1.6" color TFT display and number pad. The only problem would be indexing each disc - you will have to manually enter the information via the number pad one by one before reaping the benefits of such a system.

You can choose from three colors - silver, silver, and silver. This will definitely come in handy for those who live in already crammed apartments and need every square inch possible.

Internet Explorer Information Bar

There's a new "security feature" available in Microsoft Windows XP after the installation of Service Pack 2 (SP2) that makes creating web pages and testing them on your local machine a complete pain in the ass. Whenever you run an HTML or HTM page that has any script in it at all, you get this wonderful warning: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options". If you click, you get the box below. Clicking "Allow Blocked Content" produces another Security Warning to pop up, and you have to click "Yes" to proceed.

This has to be THE most annoying feature EVER created in the history of Windows . And there's no way the average user can find to turn it off.

Allowing the content once or twice or 100 times does not convince Windows to allow it again. Resetting the security options on My Computer to less secure than that recommended by Microsoft eventually resolved the problem at home in Windows XP Home Edition, but 1) why have security if you are going to turn it off, and 2) it did not resolve the issue at school in Windows XP Professional Edition.

A Microsoft-er tells about this in his blog - http://blogs.msdn.com/tonyschr/archive/2004/03/21/93551.aspx- and explains Microsoft is referring to this "feature" as the Local Machine Zone (LMZ) Lockdown. Whenever there is any script run on the page, you get the Information Bar, or as I like to call it, the DamnBar.

Turning off The DamnBar - Option 1One post at the blog above from TheICrow gives you the Registry key to turn this "feature" off. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\ FEATURE_LocalMachine_Lockdown where you set the REG_DWORD values to 0 to disable LMZ Lockdown.

Turning off The DamnBar - Option 2 You can do some registry editing to allow "My Computer" to show up in your Internet Explorer Security Zones. Microsoft explains how below: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315933

This link explains how to make My Computer show up as a Security Zone. http://www.kayodeok.co.uk/weblog/200402/01/hack_ie_my_computer_zone.html

This link contains more information explaining the entries in above examples
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=182569

This site has an Registry file you just double click to make My Computer show up as a Security Zone, as well as some suggestions for working around this "feature". http://www.phdcc.com/xpsp2.htm

And wile we're at it, this site explains how to add another security place for other kinds of pages: http://blogs.msdn.com/ptorr/archive/2004/01/29/64215.aspx

Then, once this is done, you can set the My Computer security settings to a lower but customized level.

Turning off The DamnBar - Option 3This option doesn't actually turn The DamnBar off, but it does trick Internet Explorer. It requires adding a "Mark of the Web" to a file. Microsoft explains this below: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2brows.mspx

Basically, you add this code to the very top (before the opening tag) of every html and htm document:

You'll recognize this line of code; it's at the top of any web page you save locally. The "13" represents the number of letters in "about:internet". This code, at the top of every file, will stop The DamnBar.

It will also stop you from loading other kinds of files in the browser, like PDFs. The trick, if you need to open such a file in Internet Explorer, is to have the html file open a new html file with a meta tag that redirects to the PDF file, like this:

Turning off The DamnBar - Option 4 This option doesn't actually turn The DamnBar off either, but again is a trick. Start your html file as an HTML Helper Application. This means changing the ".html" extension to a ".hta" extension. HTA files can do lots of things that html files can't or shouldn't.
