How to modify the name of newly created zone in IE

Guest

Hi,

I have created a new zone in IE. I have a registry file
When I run this registry file, It creates a new 5th zone in IE under
Tools-Internet Options-Security tab. I can see a new Icon but it's name is
'Your Computer'. I want to change this to 'Test Sites'.
How this can be done?
The registry files contents to create a new 5th zone are :-

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\5]

"DisplayName"="Test sites"

your computer or data."

Under the following registry key for both HKCU and HKLM

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones

You will find subkeys numbered 0 to 4 (default no. of zones). For your
custom zone you should have no. 5 as a subkey.

Create values for DisplayName (=The zone name the user will see on the
Internet Options) and Description under the no. 5 subkey.

There is also a value for Icon which contains the path to the icon file for
your custom zone.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the answer. I have already set the 'DisplayName' property to
'Test Sites'. But I don't see this name to be displayed with new 5th Icon
(You can see the register contents in my first post).
It displays 'Your Computer' for the newly created zone.
It works fine with Win98 but doesn't work with the higher versions.
For Win98, it shows 'Test Sites' on the internet options but for other
higher Win OS
, it shows 'Your Computer' for the 5th zone.

Regards.
