For those of us still on Windows Internet Explorer as a browser, we’ve definitely made some changes to the default security settings. This leads to the really annoying bar that pops up asking you to “Fix the Security Settings for Me.” (Click the Thumbnail to see the annoying page)

If you’re like me, you’re going to want that bar to go away considering every time you go to a new page, you’re not going to want to see it. So here’s the REAL solution on making that bar go away FOREVER!
“Open registry editor by typing regedit in the run box.
Navigate to the following location in your registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ->SOFTWARE ->POLICIES ->MICROSOFT->Internet Explorer->Security:
In Security, add a DWORD value named DisableSecuritySettingsCheck and assign it a value of 1 if it’s not there.
Also assign a value of one to the following as well:
- DisableFixSecuritySettings
- Disable SecuritySettings
Close registry editor and restart internet explorer. That annoying information bar should be gone now.”
For those of you who really have no desire to much around in regedit, just open up notepad and paste everything in between the stars: [Don’t paste the stars into the file]
************************************************
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftInternet Explorer]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftInternet ExplorerSecurity]
“DisableSecuritySettingsCheck”=dword:00000001
“DisableFixSecuritySettings”=dword:00000001
“DisableSecuritySettings”=dword:00000001
*****************************************************
Don’t include the stars. Save the file as IE.Disable.Security.settings.reg
Then just right click on the file and select “Merge” and it will import it into your registry. All should be good then!
**Special Note / WARNING: This will disable all the security settings in your browser and render it unsafe if you go to a bad website, you could end up getting a virus, so do this with caution.**
If you ever want to reverse the changes, just change the values to “0” zero and remerge the file.
Good luck and be safe. Another option would be to use another browser like “Mozilla Firefox or Chrome”
In Explorer, double-click on the file and click “Yes”. That should add what you need and it should work.
