Re: inquiry on putting a block on changing internet settings on IE7

The sites in Internet Explorer's security settings are user-specific
and are stored in the registry under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap

You can go into the registry, browse to this key, right-click and
select Permissions. Click the [Advanced] button and uncheck [ ] Allow
inheritable permissions. Select copy when prompted, then click [Ok].
Back on the Permissions for ZoneMap dialog box, click to select the
user and change their permissions so that only [x] Read is checked.
This will change it for the currently logged on user.

As a user-level settings, a knowledgeable person can go back into the
registry and reset their permissions. Thus, this is not completely
secure, but a good starting point.

So I placed some sites in the restricted sites portion of the Internet
settings and I want to make sure they stay there. To put it into more of a
perspective, I want to make sure that a person who is not an administrator
cannot edit the Internet settings, especially by removing sites from the
restricted sites list. I am using IE7, if that helps/makes a difference. I
have limited knowledge on editing registry keys, so if that's what needs to
be done, and you can point me in the right direction, I can probably figure
it out. But I'm having a heck of a time finding any info on how to set up
those restrictions. Thank you in advance for your input.
