Every time I open my tiddlywiki.html file in IE8, I get a warning bar:

To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options.

and tiddlywiki doesn't display. If I select "Allow Blocked Content..." it's all fine.

I want to change whatever IE8 settings necessary so that I don't have to do this. Anyone know what setting that would be?

I tried adding my c:\users\me\tiddlywiki.html file to the "Trusted Sites" in IE->Tools->Options->Security but it says the URL doesn't match some regular expression validation.

Have you tried opening up the advanced options under control panel, internet options and setting the "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" to enabled? That should do the trick.

TiddlyWiki uses the ActiveX FileSystemObject to access the filesystem under the internet explorer. To use this ActiveX object you don't need to set the browsers security level to low as described on some pages. You should only set one security setting "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting" to "Prompt" or "Enable". That's it.
