Can't add mapped drive to trusted zone

I have a drive mapped to an intranet IP address: \\192.168.1.15\share

When I open and navigate this drive it says that it is in the "Internet
Zone".

When I attempt to add it to the Trusted Sites zone (or even the Local
Intranet Zone) I get the message "The site you specified already exists in
the Intranet zone. Would you like to move it to the Trusted sites zone?". I
say yes, the location appears on the trusted sites zone list but the icon in
the lower right continues to indicate that it is in the Internet zone and
those security settings apply.

HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges\Range1 show a DWORD of 0x00000002 (2) which
indicates that it should be in the correct zone, but this is obviously being
overridden somewhere else.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Should it not be set to local intranet? 192.168.x.x addresses are not
routable thru the internet, which might be causing it to have an
issue...

FWIW...

Click on the Internet icon you see, then click on Local Intranet,
Sites, Make sure all 3 boxes have check marks...

All three boxes have checkmarks.

I have also explicitly added x:\, \\192.168.1.* and 192.168.1.* to the Local
Intranet zone but it still does not work.
