phaolo Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) I need a confirmation for these 2 tweaks before adding them to my unattended WinXp SP3 cd.I am very dubious, are they correct or could they give security or system issues?1- I can't use activex content in html files saved on my pc\cd unless I do these things:A- put this line in the html pages: <!-- saved from url=(0015)about:localhost -->B- Modify these registry keys:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN]"iexplore.exe"="DWORD:0"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN\Settings]"LOCALMACHINE_CD_UNLOCK"="DWORD:1"C- add localhost to the "Local Internet" security zone[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\localhost]"Default"="DWORD:1"Does another method exist otherwise?2- is separating iexplorer in various processes good? Can this cause instability or memory issues?[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"SeparateProcess"="DWORD:1" Edited September 20, 2008 by phaolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 B- Modify these registry keys:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN]"iexplore.exe"="DWORD:0"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN\Settings]"LOCALMACHINE_CD_UNLOCK"="DWORD:1"C- add localhost to the "Local Internet" security zone[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]"2201"="DWORD:0"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\localhost]"Default"="DWORD:1"id assume this would be safe, its just registry entries, if it doesnt work undo it, test on a virtual machine 1st2- is separating iexplorer in various processes good? Can this cause instability or memory issues?[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"SeparateProcess"="DWORD:1" this is safe, ive used it in the past, worked fine for me when i used itBUT!!!!! why use IE? so much more flexibility with other browsers , safer aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaolo Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) Hey I'm not worried about the process of writing the registry. I was thinking about the method and content!1: Is it ok to add localhost to the "Local Internet" security zone or could this cause security breach? Is this strange method the only way to fix the problem?2: ok then, anyway I have Firefox too p.s: ops this is about another thing, I'll remove it: Zones\3 "2201"="DWORD:0" Edited September 20, 2008 by phaolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
