Hi,

I'm trying to trap the registry keys for the following IE settings. Here's how you get there,

a. Open IE and navigate to Internet Options - Settings - Trusted Sites b. Click button - "Custom Level" c. In window - "Security Settings - Trusted Site Zones", I'm trying to update the checkboxes (i.e. set to "Enable") 1. Binary and script behaviors 2. Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe 3. Run ActiveX controls and Plug-ins 4. Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting 5. Access data sources across domains

I've been looking under the following two places in the registry,

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Lockdown_Zones\2 (AND) HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Lockdown_Zones\2

The MSDN site - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182569 suggested the above IE settings were mapped onto registry keys 2000, 1201, 1200, 1405 and 1406 resp. However, even after I change the settings these key values are not updated. Both under HKLM and HKCU. I've restarted IE multiple times and also reopened the registry and refreshed it.

Am I missing something here? Should I be looking at another place in the registry?

Another question I have is regarding checking which add-on is installed in IE? More specificially, I'm checking for one named "CWebAgent Object". I'm not sure where in the registry I should look for it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely, Karthik.
