Dear Rob,
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad to know that we are making progress.
Actually, the Local Intranet Zone security settings are saved in the
following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\1]
An easy solution is:
1. Configure the Local Intranet Zone security settings on a client.
2. Export the above key to a *.reg file.
3. Add the following command on the existing logon script:
regedit /s \\<Path>\<File.Reg>
This will configure the users' IE security settings when they log on.
More Information:
----------------------------
1. The "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" setting
is recorded by the "1201" entry.
2. The "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" setting is recorded by the
"1200" entry.
3. We should change the above two entries to "0" (which indicates "Enable").
Please try the method and let me know if it works.
Thank you for using our news groups!

|Hi Joe
|
|Thanks very much for this. I did as you said for Intranet
|Zone and this works perfectly.
|
|I need to roll out this setting change to 400 users. Can
|it be done using their logon scripts? Unfortunately we're
|not yet using Active Directory, we've got an NT4 domain
|with mixed NT4/XP clients.
|
|Thanks
|
