Hat tip to user semjon from this thread (with further explanation here), you can selectively disable any and all security checks on specific ActiveX controls. So even if you don’t browse using Internet Explorer, malicious scripts can still take advantage of that security setting, if disabled. vbs files, practically anything the Windows Scripting Host supports. ActiveX controls can be initialized from inside. If you’re thinking “but I’m not using Internet Explorer, what do I care?”, then you haven’t read what I’ve written above. You’re opening yourself to all kinds of trouble if you allow all unsafe ActiveX controls to run without warning. I enabled that setting in all of the zones, went to the Advanced tab to enable “Allow active content to run in files on My Computer”, and even went to the hidden My Computer zone (Zone 0) in the registry to manually set the appropriate flag (1201) to 0, thus enabling unsafe ActiveX controls from local scripts. However, that didn’t stop me, and I took it five steps too far. No relevant zone is there in Windows 7 anymore, as the My Computer zone has been hidden. Well, first of all, this is a local script, running from my local drive. Next, I followed a catch-all solution that’s plastered in message boards around the web, saying to enable the “Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting” in the “relevant zone” in the Security tab of Internet Options. That didn’t work for me, as it was never ticked in the first place. Talking about the WSH Panel Mod extension for foobar2000, the most popular solution is to go to its preferences and disable (untick) Safe Mode. This is a quite popular error outside of foobar2000 as well, as a number of developers seem to have similar issues when using those calls. And the JavaScript files included with spotifoo, as well as most other foobar2000 skins which use the WSH Panel Mod, had calls to new ActiveXObject(something), where something was one of those unsafe ActiveX Objects. I would imagine this is a recent change that must’ve been applied to my Windows 7 installation via Windows Update, given how I wasn’t having these problems for years now. So, what’s going on here is that certain ActiveX Objects, including Scripting.FileSystemObject and WScript.Shell, have been deemed unsafe. Finally, I’ve just found the solution, but it’s in no way an elegant one. I have been trying to find a solution for this for weeks, I even switched to MusicBee for a while but I HAD to get my foobar2000 back. I checked the console, and it was full of “Automation Server Can’t Create Object” errors. However, recently, and with no indication as to what caused this change, when I started up foobar, most of the panels of the spotifoo skin were replaced by an “Aw, crashed! :(” message, and I was getting multiple errors about an unexpected script issue. ![]() I loved it even more when I found out spotifoo (a skin for foobar2000), which although now a couple of years old, does everything I want (including Last.fm scrobbling, play count and love) and still has a very uncluttered and space-effective interface. It’s lightweight, straight-forward, and so customizable it’s ridiculous. You can opt for a single left/right splitter and two top/bottom ones to create a unified left column and three other panes for displaying your music library, album cover flow, and some neat visualizations.Updated to include sample. The left/right one will create a vertical divider, while the top/bottom one will create a horizontal one. Simply click anywhere within the window to bring up the UI control panel, and select one of the splitter options. This calls up a blank window pane in which you can add UI elements of your choosing. Next, click on “create a scratchbox” in the same sub-menu to start setting up your own custom layout. You’ll also need to navigate to the View menu, hover over the Layout button, and then enable layout editing mode before you begin. Unless otherwise stated, all the add-ons we talk about here can be found on the main website and enabled in this manner. To enable them, simply drag the file into the Components folder in the installation directory, and you’re all set. Foobar2000’s official download page has a section dedicated to all the components you can grab to customize your listening experience.
