Re: query: switching b/n secure and non-secure mode

The default is "on". When first switching from a non-secure to a secure 
site, there is an option to disable the warning so that it never shows 
again. I imagine that many tech-savvy people disable the warning. Other than 
IEAK, or Group Policy etc, I can't think of any other way that this would be 
disabled. AFAIK no Windows XP service pack has turned this off for you.

Cheers

: Hi,
: For an applications that I regularly use, today on a
: Win XP, I got this warning popup from IE that said I
: am switching from a secure site to a non-secure one.
: It seems IE has an option 'warn when switching between
: secure and non secure mode', and it turns out that it
: is ON by default. I checked out with a bunch of guys
: as this option is on their machines, and all of them
: have it OFF and no one recalls when they turned it
: OFF. Neither do I.
:
: Does anyone know more about this option? If installing
: any service packs turns it off or something like that?
