Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe -- dotnet interop

We have built an ASP.NET C# web application, which is used in the
intranet and uses the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll to
interface with Microsoft Outlook installed on the users machines. For
the ActiveX to work properly, the users need to enable the "Initialize
and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" option in the security
settings of their IE browser for the local intranet zone.

Is there some way to avoid this, since some users are complaining
about this for obvious reasons?

Why not use Group Policy for establishing default settings for the IE browser settings centrally?

Hi Brian, I am also having the same problem to enable the activex
control not marked as safe for using word and excel in my application.

I cant understand what is group policy? pls explain.

Also, is there any way to enable this particular activex control when
the user open the webpage using asp.net code or java script code? Can we
do it programmatically?
