Re: Windows 2003 security issue

Weird. I don't know if the computer is a member of a domain or not but if it
is there might be more than one Group Policy managing those settings and it
might help running rsop.msc on your TS server to see what Group Policies are
being applied to the user. If you are logging on with a domain account then
try logging on as a local administrator that is not a domain account.

If none of that applies or helps and you have another Windows 2003 Server or
maybe even an XP Pro computer around that does not have the problem you
could try exporting the registry keys for HKEY_CURRENT
_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\ and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\ from a computer that does not have the problem and import
into the registry of the probelm server via .reg file starting with
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\ being sure to backup those keys on the server first. ---
