Hi

We run XP with SP2 applied on our network - deployed via a GPO from 2003
server. This puts the security settings for the Internet Zone in IE to
high - which creates lots of problems with our students not being able
to access interactive content/mulitmedia/etc etc. We've thought about
this and would like to reduce this setting to Medium; we know the risks
but feel that the gains will outweigh them in our context, as we'd be
forevever adding stuff to 'trusted sites' if we do it that way!

However we've been unable to achive this, either by modifying exisiting
GPOs or creating our own! Any advice would be gratefully recivied!
