Change IE Internet Security Setting


Recommended Posts

Trying to figure on an easy way to change IE's Internet security setting from High to Medium and then back to High again via some type of script (batch, reg, vbscript, etc).

I did a RegShot before and after changing the setting and it seems as though there are a ton of RegEntries which are modified. In addition to that, at least with my tests, the reg entries which seem to get modified are located under "HKU\[Random Hive Name]\...".

I need this script to work on various PC's, preferably with both Windows 2000 and 2003, but mostly for Win2003.

I did search around for '+"Internet Explorer" +security' and didnt come up with anything definitive... so apologies if I happend to miss a topic where this has already been discussed!

Thanks in advance!

For Windows XP sp2, my guess would be:

Key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\<see subkeys>

Subkeys

0 (My Computer)

1 (Local Intranet)

2 (Trusted Sites)

3 (Internet)

4 (Restricted Sites)

Values

"CurrentLevel"=dword:<see Dwords>

"Minlevel"=dword:<see Dwords>

"RecommendedLevel"=dword:<see Dwords>

Dwords

00010000 (Low Security)

00010500 (Medium Low Security)

00011000 (Medium Security)

00012000 (High Security)

Example Internet Zone High Security (recommended & minimum is Medium)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]
"CurrentLevel"=dword:00012000
"Minlevel"=dword:00011000
"RecommendedLevel"=dword:00011000
