Microsoft to make Internet Explorer 7 less annoying

One of the most annoying things about the IE7 web browser was the ‘click to activate’ message alert whenever the user tries to check out multimedia content.

This was added to the browser application when Microsoft began requiring users to approve ActiveX controls the first time they were run from the browser.

With Microsoft now settling their lawsuit with Eolas, they are in a position to disable that warning.

The company said that the Internet Explorer Automatic Component Activation Preview would soon be made available through the Microsoft Download Center next month.

It would be made available to all the Internet Explorer 7 users by April next year.

Pete LePage, senior product manager at Microsoft said in a blog post: “It’s important to note that this change will require no modifications to existing Web pages, and no new actions for developers creating new pages. We are simply reverting to the old behavior.”
