Privacy Dialog Box May Not Appear if Media Explorer Bar Is Enabled

This article was previously published under Q306256

SYMPTOMS

The first time a cookie is restricted (based on your privacy preferences), the Privacy dialog box may not be displayed.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the Media Explorer bar is enabled.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, double-click the Privacy icon in the Status bar to view a privacy report that explains how the Web site either has privacy practices that conflict with your preferences or has no published privacy policy. You can also view a privacy report for any site by clicking Privacy Report on the View menu.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Internet Explorer normally displays a Privacy dialog box the first time a cookie is restricted (based on your privacy preferences). This dialog box is displayed only once unless you click to clear the Don't show this message again check box. The Privacy dialog box explains that a new status icon (the Privacy Report icon) is placed in the Status bar when you visit a Web site that does not meet your privacy preferences. If the Media Explorer bar is enabled the first time a cookie is restricted (based on your privacy preferences), the Privacy dialog may not be displayed.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
