Hi,

We run an antivirus & antispam solution on our 2003 exchange server. All of
the manuals and help pages are in html format in the programs install
directory in program files. However when I view these pages, I get a
security warning, asking me if I want to allow the blocked content. Which is
getting a little annoying on every page I'm trying to view, and also it
seems to screw the page up sometimes. I'd like to add the whole directory of
help files to either the local intranet or trusted sites zone in IE (v6)
However when I do I get an error saying it's an invalid format. I've tried
the format suggest in the error (file:\\) and the format used by IE when
viewing the pages ((file:///) which is a little weird, that they are both
different)). However neither works. Can someone let me know how to add a
local file/directory, to a trusted site? I've googled MS groups, and seen a
few other peoples post, but no proper fix for this (both
http://tinyurl.com/8n96n & http://tinyurl.com/dtn4x suggest messing with the
registry).

Cheers

Ben

Did you uncheck the box to only allow HTTPS sites?

Yes, the error is "You have entered an invalid wildcard sequence" not the
"Sites added to this zone must use the https:// prefix." error.

How about you simply turn off the setting that is causing the error - info
