Not quite sure what you mean.  I found that disabling "Scipt ActiveX
controls marked safe for scripting" has no effect in IE6.  The test page
http://www.computerbytesman.com/privacy/pythondirdemo.htm still works.

It took disabling "Scripting:Active Scripting" to keep IE from running the
web page's code.  This stops all scripting, not just Python.
