If you want to use Dell DRAC 5 with IE 8 you need to change this setting or the Virtual Media won’t work.

Microsoft made this change to conform with HTML5.

So in order to prevent information disclosure (the path to a file may include the user name if the file reside under the user ‘profile), there are actually two changes combined to achieve that:

  • The IE security setting “include local directory path when uploading files to a server” (already present in IE7) is set to “Disable” instead of “Enabled” as it was with IE7 for the “Internet Zone”
