Here is what I'm trying to clear out


I've dug though the registry enough to figure out how to unlock the "custom level buttons" but I'm still missing the medium-low and low settings for the internet zone (which i need to be able to get at to enable active x)

Any idea? I'm on a domain, I know the settings will revert, but I need to work around them for a short while, as we have some essential training that requires said active x control.

In a domain, this can be defined in group policy for certain users or groups.

in addition to group policy, you can probably use IE tab in firefox. im pretty sure that just uses the rendering engine of IE and doesnt inherit security options

If you can set up a custom security level, just look through anything mentioning "active content" or "controls" or "plugins"

He needs to get around those group policy set security restrictions, not set them

If it uses trident, it inherits the security policy. Otherwise that would be a gaping security loophole.

Your best bet (other than contacting your domain admin to get permissions, which is what you should do) is to bring in a non-domain joined machine and get internet access on it.

I assumed he was the sysadmin, i guess.



Yeah man, don't fuck around. if you need a test account or test environment, talk to the IT department.
