Information Bar AGAIN - IE 7

Few things more annoying than the Information Bar. It made me go to Firefox
even when using IE6 with Win XP SP2.
I had great hopes for IE 7 only to be disappointed.
PEOPLE: do give option to easily disable the Information Bar for each of its
^**^%*% type of message.
I get the Information Bar stupid 'non-secure' content blocked message every
time I go to log on to my webmail!!! I tried everything, including placing
the website in the Trusted Sites.
I guess I'll continue to use Firefox as long as IE is so annoying.

While I don't mind having the information bar, I am upset with the lack of
ability to individually disable each of it's warnings. Specifically when it
blocks all the non-secure items on a https site. This is complete bs.
Images are routinely stored in non-secured locations, so the images are only
displayed upon using the information bar, allowing the blocked content, and
having it reload the page. Extremely frustrating, especially when you are
trying to navigate through a 56 pages online application that relies on the
images for form submission and navigation.

another example of the Information bar causing a problem is Outlook Web
Access. If you receive a message in the Reading Pane that has images, you're
given the option to click a link to show the images. In IE 6 when you
clicked that link, IE noticed that the images were insecure and it stopped
loading the page and popped up a dialogue asking if you wanted to load the
insecure content. If you clicked yes, it continued to load the frame and all
was good. The other frames were not effected.

In IE 7 the Information bar pops up at the top of the screen, and when you
tell it to allow insecure content, it reloads the entire site. If you're on
the 25th page of your e-mail, you're borught all the way back to the
beginning, and you ahve to find the message again.

MSFT really needs to re-work the information bar to halt the loading of
insecure content, then just load that content if/when you tell it to do so.
No more of this total page reload sillyness.
