Doh! I didn't know my name was Homer Simpson!

I have made a mistake with the 'per site privacy actions' box accessed by
clicking the 'sites' button on the privacy pane of Internet Properties. While
scanning through the huge list of sites in this box to check if some sites
that I was having problems with were possibly in this list by mistake, I
thought of some sites that I wanted to add to this list to be set with
'always block' like all the rest.

My mistake was to accidentally click the 'remove all' button. Now this
'list' is completely empty. Does anyone know how to get this list back or
where it installs from? Is it part of I.E. 6? If so, maybe if I uninstall
I.E. 6 from add/remove programs will I be able to get it back from Microsoft
Update? Or can I reinstall I.E. 6 on top of the version I have
already(I.E.6)? I connect with AOL 9.0 on Broadband which also uses a version
of I.E. so will I no longer be able to connect at all if I uninstall from
add/remove programs?

System Restore has never fixed anything on this laptop since I bought it
over two years ago, so I won't be doing that, and I have no wish to do
another system recovery as I did one only three weeks ago or there abouts.

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance

The list is empty by default, so you can't get it back by reinstalling
IE6, as the list didn't come with IE.

Try looking at some program you have that added the items, like
Spybot.

As they are only Registry entries, then a System Restore should get
them back, depending on your O/S, which you don't mention.

Ta for the advice Alan, but you may be right about them being applied by some
security app' as they have reappeared by themselves.

As I use quite a few of these app's then I guess they must have come from
one of them.
