Correct me if I'm wrong, but putting something into the restricted
Zone does not block you from connecting to it. It just means that when
you do connect to it you use the security policy of the restricted zone,
which is by default on the highest setting. You can't use the restricted
zone to block out sites you don't want to connect to at all. This is
a big gap in internet explorer in my opinion. Microsoft seems to have
completely overlooked the possibility that there might be sites
we don't want to contact AT ALL. There really should be a possibility to
block connection altogether under the security setting tab - but there
isn't.
Hence we all have to puddle around with proxies and host files
And whatnot trying to do the job that Microsoft could have and should have done when they wrote the browser.

(***From Karl*** Ian, Your almost right, I wanted the ability to
view pages but Comet Cursors forced/installed itself not only from
its site but other sites into my computer; Since I wildcarded
Comet in restricted zones, it has disabled THAT ability,

your kids are about settings, but I have file downloads disabled
in IE to stop that happening and mine wouldn't have a clue where
to look for it. It's very quick to turn it back on when you want
something! -- Peta

I downloaded and installed MS Web Accessories.
I am unable to locate the menu in order to use it.
Patience, please, I'm a newby, but learning.

This little .reg file populates your restricted zone addresses

Karl,
You may find this site interesting. You'll have to add it to your
Trusted zone to run their scan of your browser settings.

Does anybody have an opinion on AtGuard? I haven't heard any mention
of it here - only ZoneAlarm.
