Buttons on the Security tab of Internet Options are disabled?

[Go Bills]

Does anybody have any idea why by default the buttons on
the Security tab of Internet Options are disabled, so I
cannot add sites, change Custome Level or Default Level?

Thanks for your reply in advance!

Hope this helps.

Go Bills,
They get disabled by someone adding certain Registry restrictions.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Inter
net Settings]
"Security_HKLM_only"=dword:00000001
"Security_options_edit"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Inter
net Settings]
"SecChangeSettings"=dword:00000001
"SecAddSites"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"SecChangeSettings"=dword:00000001
"SecAddSites"=dword:00000001


Security Tab Restrictions:

Security_HKLM_only - forces the use of the local machine settings rather
than current user
Security_options_edit - prevents changing security zone settings and
disables the Custom Level button and security-level slider
SecChangeSettings - prevents changing Security Levels for the Internet Zone
SecAddSites - prevents adding Sites to any zone

Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
