Reset "Local Machine Zone" Security settings to default...

....I thought it might be a good idea to tighten up the security in the
Local Machine zone. So, I enabled the "My Computer" icon in the
Security tab of the Internet Options control panel, and went to work.
It turns out that it is more of a pain to deal with the increased
security settings. I'm getting errors like

Line: 30
Char: 12
Error: Unspecified error
Code: 0
URL: res://C:\Windows\System32\mmcn­dmgr.dll/views.htm

in the Services manager. Of course, MS KB Q833633 said that this might
happen. I've monkeyed with the settings so much trying to find the
default configuration that I have no idea what it was out-of-the-box.
Can anyone take a gander in their unchanged security settings for their
Local Machine Zone and post a reply with that info?

Thanks!!

Login as Administrator (or another user profile), and export this key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\0]

Compare the settings to what's in the currentt user registry.
