Why is this being blocked?

[Guest]

I'm using the URL.txt file to block access to the hard drive via the Address Bar. My current configuration is:

+all
+res://c:\windows\system32\shdoclc.dll/navcancl.htm
-C:\\
-D:\\

Occasionally, I'm getting block messages on URLs like:

http://rds.yahoo.com/S=2766679/K=pool+l ... pplies.com

I think the problem may be related to Internet slowness as in IE in the same links, I get error messages. Is there something about how IE handles server error messages that may be causing this problem?

The -C:\\ is probably causing the problem when IE tries to disaply an internal resource.

Instead of using:
+res://c:\windows\system32\shdoclc.dll/navcancl.htm
-C:\\
...

Change it to:
+res:
-C:\\
...

This will allow the internal IE pages to show but still block access to the C drive.

Thanks. I think that will fix an another error message that we just encountered. The unsafe ActiveX message was getting suppressed and that seemed to be causing PWB to crash.
