Setting Internet Explorer Security Unattended?

[DigeratiPrime]

Im having trouble setting Internet Explorer's Security Level for the Internet Zone. I want to set the Default Security Level to HIGH, not Medium, and unattended of course.

I did search a bit, I'd hoped it was possible with winnt, but it sounds like I may need to use gpedit and then apply registry tweaks, but its a bit confusing. I did come across a thread about IEAK6 which may be helpful. Hope someone here already knows how to do this.

The easiest way would to be from a reg cmd or inf file run at cmdlines.txt, so all users get the settings.

The keys for the internet zone are found here

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3

I usually set each of the appropriate values to the dwords I require in the form

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]
"1001"=dword:00000003
"1004"=dword:00000003
"1200"=dword:00000003
"1201"=dword:00000003
"1206"=dword:00000003

etc.

<EDIT>

You could try these settings, instead of setting each item individually to your own taste:

;Change Internet Zone settings for improved security
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]
;This makes "High" the default and recommended setting
"CurrentLevel"=dword:00012000
"RecommendedLevel"=dword:00012000
;Warning if attempt to set the zone to less than "Medium"
"MinLevel"=dword:00011000
;Allow you to add sites to the zone and to change its settings
"Flags"=dword:00000003
