Mike,
Looks as if you've entered 65 (hexadecimal) in the Registry Editor. BTW,
the value shown in my > system (default configuration) is 71
Double-click the "Flags" value and click the "Decimal" radio button. Type
"71" in the text > > > field.
Description of Internet Explorer security zones registry entries:

I have 43 for the Flags value for zone 2 (Trusted Sites). That is its
*hexidecimal* value. The decimal value is 67 (i.e., hex 67 = dec 43). Hex
47 works, too (see last paragraph on why mine is hex 43).
One of the pissers with these registry keys is they use stupid hex values
for the data item names instead of strings that equate to their settings
seen when reviewing the security zone. 1405? What the hell is that? Well,
gee, of course, you'll have to go find a KB article because obviously using
a 4-character hex value as the data name (or a number for a zone "name"
instead of a string) is so much quicker and intuitive than using a string
value that would be descriptive to a human ... NOT! Rant over.
In another KB article (315933) about getting the My Computer zone to appear
in the Internet Options dialog (so I could set security settings for it), I
was told to set Flags to hex 47 (dec 71).
Hex 43 (dec 67) for the Trusted Security zone (2) means you are setting the
following bits:
bit 1 = Allow changes to custom settings
bit 2 = Allow users to add Web sites to this zone
bit 7 = Show the Requires Server Verification dialog box
Whereas hex 47 (dec 71) for the My Computer zone (0) has the above bits set
and adds:
bit 3 = Require verified Web sites (https protocol)
In both cases, bit 6 (do not show) was zero (off) so that security zone
would appear. If mskl had set the value to *hex* 65 then bit 6 would have
been set to 1 (on) and the Security zone would not show in the Internet
Options -> Security dialog. When changing the REG_DWORD value of the Flags
item, the default is to enter a value as hexidecimal, so stick with it and
enter "47" (although mine has "43"). My value is different by bit 3 (https)
because I disabled the option that requires sites to have the https prefix
under the Trusted Sites zone (because I might want to trust a site that
doesn't use HTTPS or, in other words, I might want to trust a site
regardless of whether it uses HTTPS or not).
