How to display the status of the 'Custom Level' security settings on IE6.0 (ASP)

[Alex Langton]

I am working on an Intranet site (ASP) for a customer. The
site is a call centre and there are over 300 users on line
from 7:00am to 11:00pm. There is a high turn over of users
working on the site and PC's are re-imaged on a regular
bases.

At one point the site uses an ActiveX control developed in
house. However, the user of the browser must have
the "initialize and script active x controls not marked as
safe" on the security settings for the 'Local
Intranet', 'custom level', set to enabled for this to
work. I need to make sure this is set correctly before
running the page.

The current idea is to show the user via the logon screen
the status of the security setting. If the status is not
correct the user can then request technical help.

Thanks in advance
Alex

I'm pretty sure you can read this information out of the registry in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet Settings.

Run regmon.exe from www.sysinternals.com and modify the settings and see
how it's stored. Experiment. You may be able to figure out what to read
and display it.
