disable ActiveX warning

I have an HTML file containing some JScript that creates a
"WScript.Shell" ActiveX object. When it loads, Internet Explorer
says:

"An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe
to interact with other parts of the page. Do you
want to allow this interaction?"

I would like to suppress this message, but even when I set all
ActiveX-related security settings to "Enable", it still appears.

I also tried to add this file to the Trusted Sites zone. When I
clicked Add, it said, "You have entered an invalid wildcard sequence."
(I did not use any wildcards.)

I'm using IE 6 on Windows XP (without SP2). The file in question
resides on the local hard drive.

How can I get rid of the message?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Also, here is an article that gives a general overview of this behaviour and
a few things you can do:
