This is really driving me nuts. I have a local website on my PC that I use to run certain bits of software for my company. For example, a tutorial MPG file:

Pre-SP2 (IE 6 and FF):

Open http://localhost/
Click on file I want, and it runs. File shown as 'file:///D:/Work/blah.mpg'.

Post-SP2 (IE 6 and FF):

Open http://localhost/
Click on file I want, nothing happens. File shown as 'file:///D:/Work/blah.mpg'.

In my Advanced Settings (IE) I have:
Allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer (ticked)
Allow active content to run files on My Computer (ticked)

I'm assuming as both have this problem, it isn't an IE thing. Anyone know if there is a setting anywhere else? Is this because I'm jumping from 'http://whatever/' to 'file:///'?

I know it's a security risk, but I really need to test some work that mixes ASP with our in-house software.
