Answer 1

Bl**dy VISTA ... stupid IE security settings --- point is, these days, HTML scripted pages (on a USB stick or where-ever) could be used to take control of a PC or infect it with a Virus or worm.

So VISTA uses IE settings to decide if the HTML is OK - and by default, IE thinks a USB stick is on an 'untrusted' Web site !!!

I believe the 'solution' is to go into IE. locate the Internet Security options and tell it that the USB drive letter/name (K: or whatever) is a 'trusted' web site :-)
