When I run a html page from my own disk, and that page instantiates an ActiveX control, IE keeps asking me whether I want the control to run. So I tried to add the path to the directory into trusted sites (Tools->InternetOptions->Security). But IE complains, that I use incorrect format, e.g.
file:\\\C:\SomeDir\
Can anyone advise me? By the way, why aren't the local disks considered secure by default?

I believe standard URI format (including back slashes) is sometimes more effective with local file pointers too... file:///C:/SomeDir/
-but- there is another (perhaps more appropriate ?) approach ...
As you like, adjust entries for security "Zone 0" as noted in KB Q182569
