Local HTML page using Internet security zone instead of Local Machine zone

[JB]

The following code works fine on three systems in my home but when i
gave it to my son, he is getting an ActiveX can't create object,
error.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FolderExists("E:\") Then
msgbox "exists"
else
msgbox "doesn't exist"
End If
Set fso = Nothing

-->
</SCRIPT>

If we change the Internet zone security setting to low security then
all is fine. He gets the danges control prompt, as expected, and can
choose to run it or not. The mystery is, why are the Internet zone
security settings being used instead of the Local Machine zone
security settings? We are both opening the page from a local hard
drive by double clicking a TEST.HTML file.

Even tried clearing the IE cache so that there was nothing left over
in there.

PS: The systems it works on (ie uses the Local Machine security zone)
are XP Pro and two Win2K machines. The problem systems are XP Home and
Win2K. All are IE6 and up to date on maintenance. XP boxes are running
WScript 5.6, the 2K boxes are running 5.1.

I have spent hours trying to figure this out. Thanks in advance for
any help.
