That's more like it.

I think you'd be well advised to change the last two to 'Prompt'. That
won't prevent you using any safe site, but you'll need to use your skill
and judgement in deciding which are which. It does at least leave the
decision up to you, not Microsoft.

There's only one site where I absolutely need to use IE, and that's my
bank (for full functionality), most of the rest of the time it's
Mozilla. But using that very safe browser you do have to accept that
some features of some sites may not work. It's all a question of what
your priorities are I suppose, safety, or adventure!

Cheers,
