Disabling IE Scripting in a Useful Manner?

hwyguy2 asks: "Do any Slashdot readers have any insight or pointers on how companies deal with ActiveX in the IE browser? At the company I'm with, they have taken a conservative approach, and have the browser configured to only allow ActiveX to internal corporate servers and disallow it anywhere else. Of course, locking that down also locks things like javascript, which the company choses to prompt. This creates many practical problems and user frustrations. It also makes it a pain for programs that use ActiveX innocously (such as HoTMetal, which seems to like to use an Active X control to get an open file dialog box). Given the number of sites out there that now only work with IE (boo!), this tight configuration is getting harder and harder to support. Are there any good ways to address the ActiveX concerns (maybe filtering servers to block ActiveX or other mobile code concerns)?"

Can you come up with a regex that will filter out the pix of porkers and jailbait, and let everything else through?

Thanx
