The subject line says it all. You actually have a 5th, hidden, security zone in your IE6 Internet Options->Security->Zones know as "My Computer". Yep, you can protect yourself from your own system. It's normally kept hidden on purpose because the average user doesn't need to lock down their system THAT tight. But if you're a regular here, you're not that average. ;) One other possible reason (just a guess) is that it might help stop the spread of trojans and bad ActiveX controls.

If you really want to play with this, be careful and backup everything before you change anything too drastically. Always good advice when playing with the registry.

Damn- it must be popular. Somebody cut 'n pasted my exact words from the original post and posted it over at Ibelite and then Warp2Search did the same thing from THAT post.

BetaOne shall rule them all! ;)


Anyway, you're all welcome. The people you should really thank is Microsoft themselves. It's from an article buried in their website. My greatest talent is that I just read too damn much. :)
