In Part 1 of this series, I described the security zones in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 5.0. Here, in Part 2, I'll show you how to configure the security settings for each zone. In the final part of this series, I'll explain how to use create rules in Active Directory (AD) to centrally and consistently configure these IE security settings for all users in your domain according to each type of user.

I too have had the problem that, even though Ive set my controlls to allow ActiveX it still will not download! Why?

what if you have already set it to allow activex but still it prohibits you to download activex?

I'm still not clear as to how to setup "Administrator approved" activeX controls. A step-by-step example using the easiest way (if is more than one way doing this) would be very helpful. Thanks

I would have liked an article describing how to set up something like: only ActiveX from Yahoo, Acrobat and so on are allowed to execute. The problem here is that you cant find such an ID for that controls . you have to find them manually.

Is there a way to disable ActiveX and the security warning "your current security settings prohibit you from running ActiveX controls on this page?"

The article does not address IE and network security. It does not even mention that you can use wildcards to specify both protocols and trusted sites in the form
*://*.windowsecurity.com, although if you specify https you're limited to https. Why not have articles that tell security admins something specific, like to search their network for files like secumgr.exe, which can override the security settings of IE.
