Improve this question. So I had to scrap that and go with a web app. I tried enabling "Allow active content to run files on My Computer", but this did not stop ActiveX prompts, and also left me vulnerable to any possible malware apps on my local drive.

I considered exposing the "My Computer" security zone based on posts, but this did not seem to work for IE11 and seemed risky without the ability to limit the trust to my web apps folder. Then, I added my personal website to the "Trusted Sites" with "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting" enabled on top of the default "Medium-Low" security level. This quirky solution works as long as I have an internet connection for my Media PC.

I also tried to use the "Trusted Sites" design above with my personal website, but using the HTML file with a Mark of Web tag to my personal website in my local web apps folder. This did not work like when the HTML file was accessed directly from my personal website, since it never fully provided full ActiveX access nor even the prompts. My question is: am I missing something here to be able to implement a clean solution? Ideally I would have like option 3 instead of my current option 5 if there is a syntax to make it work.

The underlying frustration is that Trusted Zones are just acting as a shortcut for triggering UAC, which I have the permission to accept or reject and would be happy doing so on a case by case basis. However, some products Visual Studio in this case just have poor error handling when attempting an action that would normally invoke UAC and throw an error instead. Show 1 more comment.
