Every time I try to access My Pictures from Windows Explorer, I get the alert
"To help to protect your security, Internet Explorer has blocked access... blah, blah, blah..."

I have turned off every security setting I can find in my computer, and I just wanna get rid of this alert and have My Pictures displayed in the good old standard, two-pane view. Any ideas how I might accomplish this?

ok you are confusing me is it windows explorer (the program that pretty much runs every graphic detail on xp including menus and the taskbar or is it internet explorer (the commonly used web browser that has a lot of flaws).
