    I'm sick of seeing this on every website with IE. Is there a way I can get rid of it with a browser setting? Anyone know? I can't use firefox cuz of some web software I use, so that's not a good answer :p

    There was a lawsuit based on a patent that argued they owned the technique of having an embeded object in a page activate itself on page load. MSFT put this "manual activate" feature into IE as a work around. Blame the patent squators.

    Can't get rid of it with a browser setting - has to be "fixed" on the site itself:(
