RE: query: switching b/n secure and non-secure mode

["Auri Rahimzadeh" <auri () auri net>]

That's a dialog box that comes up and says "you are about to be transferred
to an insecure connection from a secure connection". There's a checkbox that
says "Don't tell me this again" (or similar) and then it switches that
option. I wouldn't be surprised if a number of admins turned it off thinking
it a nuisance.

Best,

: Hi,
: For an applications that I regularly use, today on a
: Win XP, I got this warning popup from IE that said I
: am switching from a secure site to a non-secure one.
: It seems IE has an option 'warn when switching between
: secure and non secure mode', and it turns out that it
: is ON by default. I checked out with a bunch of guys
: as this option is on their machines, and all of them
: have it OFF and no one recalls when they turned it
: OFF. Neither do I.
: 
: Does anyone know more about this option? If installing
: any service packs turns it off or something like that?

: Thanks
