Somewhere along the line of various patches, some setting has evidently also been "fixed". Here's the situation (other sites too, not just my bank).

Just *going* there brings up 

Security Information (title bar)
This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?
Yes, no and More Info.

More Info says:
Downloading non-secure content from a secure Web site
The Web site you are viewing is a secure site. It uses a security protocol such as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or PCT (Private Communications Technology) to secure the information you send and receive. 
When sites use a security protocol, information that you provide, such as your name or credit-card number, is encrypted so that other people can’t read it. However, this Web page also contains items that do not use this secure protocol. 
Given what you know about this Web site and your computer, you must decide whether to continue working with this site. 
If you do not feel confident about working with this site, click No. 

I click yes, and proceed to log in. That triggers the box again. Almost every thing I do on the site triggers it again. I never used to get this!

The thing that I tried is Tools > Internet Options (IE6, BTW) then Security Tab.
Internet and Local Intranet are both set for default.
I've added the above url to the trusted sites.

Still get asked that (though I haven't tried re-booting, do I have to?).
Shouldn't there be something that asks me to put a checkmark if I don't want to get asked this again on the site? Something else? What am I missing? Why am I getting this dialog all of a sudden. It's driving me nuts!
