Re: trouble adding to Restricted sites in IE Options (fixed)

Having created the testing account, and that account worked, I saved the registry entries starting from
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet settings from the working account

then I deleted the same node from my non-working account

then I restored the registry settings in my account from the saved reg file saved from the working test account.

So far everything is looking fine, I can add to the restricted list without problem.

I created a new administrator member account. That account has no problem adding entries to the restricted site list.
That has got to be a clue.... more thinking needed.

My account is a member of the administrators. HMMM I wonder if a different account might work??? I will give that a try.

Thanks for ideas, even for those that don't work out.

Tried resetting each of the zones, no effect on the problem of adding a site to the Restricted sites.
Downloaded SpywareBlaster, it successfully added a big bunch of sites into the restricted sites list.

Thanks for input.

Glad to hear that SpywareBlaster worked, but I don't know why you can't add the sites manually. I just tried it on my system and it accepted the entry without complaint. I am also using Vista SP1 and IE7. I don't know if this is relevant, but are you running an Admin or Limited User account?
