For the CD issue:

Open IE, click tools, click options, click on advanced, scroll down, tick
the option to enable active content on CD. If the pages you speak of are
local then you can opt to enable those there as well. Active content runs
with the same rights you have so it's insecure and not a great idea.
Consider, if you will, reversing the above directions when you're through
with what you're doing for your own sake.
