Authenticode ID inquiry

[Janice F <janice_2k () hotmail com>]

Dear gurus and members,

I am very new in digital certificates and authentication matters. I created an exe application ( 2 dlls are required to 
run this application) for my e-learning website. The user is requested to download and install the application on the 
1st time they go to my site. After that, whenever the user clicks on a button on their browser, the vbscript will 
launch the application(located on the user's computer). 

Currently, I found problems in accessing the application from the browser. ActiveX bugs keep disabling me to run the 
exe file. However, after I select 'Prompt' to enable download unsigned ActiveX controls from Internet Options -> 
Security Settings, a message box displaying 'ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe...Yes/No' pop up. If I click 
Yes, it will run my exe application smoothly. I do not hope to request user to change their browser security settings 
to "low" as it opens the door to malicious programs and users are at risks. Therefore, I wonder if I digitally sign my 
application could solve this security problem. Besign getting code signing ID, is there other methods to go around this?

Looking forward to some reply soon.

Thanks in advance,
Janice
