I think someone should post this solution to the Information bar security check nag in Vista Home addition;

Follow this string: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security
Right click on security and select Creat new DWORD;
Type “DisableSecuritySettingsCheck” without the quotes…
Now Change the value to equal 1 instead of 0
Problem gone.

Seriously , none other solutions out here did as well as this one we hacked up here in our office, THIS IS A “No Exceptions” Information Bar dis-abler that roasted the nag from security for good.

I’ll apply this to my Windows 7 and test it out. I modified my UAC a bit but I think a better subtitiution for step 2 wold be “use Firefox”.
