CAUSE
This problem can occur if the Media Explorer bar is enabled.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, double-click the Privacy icon in the Status bar to view a privacy report that explains how the Web site either has privacy practices that conflict with your preferences or has no published privacy policy. You can also view a privacy report for any site by clicking Privacy Report on the View menu.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
Internet Explorer normally displays a Privacy dialog box the first time a cookie is restricted (based on your privacy preferences). This dialog box is displayed only once unless you click to clear the Don't show this message again check box. The Privacy dialog box explains that a new status icon (the Privacy Report icon) is placed in the Status bar when you visit a Web site that does not meet your privacy preferences. If the Media Explorer bar is enabled the first time a cookie is restricted (based on your privacy preferences), the Privacy dialog may not be displayed.
