When you launch your SharePoint site as a public
site which has access for random users, you might
experience this problem that when you open to a new
page on your browser, it will prompt you to approve
an active x component.
For new users or visitors of your site, this can
be a little frightening to just approve something
that pop-out. Take note that people do not know that
this is your SharePoint site so approving anything
might not make sense to them.
We do not actually need this functionality, so
here are the steps to fix this:
- Go into your central administration on your
server.
- Go under general settings.
- Change "Personal name, actions and present
setting" option to NO.
- Click Ok.
- Go back to the browser and go to a new page
You will see that there will no longer be an
active x component prompted.
This is just out of the box setting in central
administrator. You don’t need to do anything with
your script to fix it.
