On Windows Server 2008 computers, Microsoft changed the default value of the Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls option. On Windows Server 2008 computers, the default value of this option is Disabled. On previous versions of Windows, the default value of this option is Enabled. This option affects the security settings for the local intranet and trusted site zones.
