Re: Restricred sites zone

In the status bar bottom right of window border, there is a icon that is

usually a small mycomputer for "windows explorer". If you click on it the

security tab of Internet explorer will open and is typically set to Internet

or local setting. In this one case the user profiles>username>cookies the

setting is restricted not mycomputer. I did not set this.

The original question was that if I want to set a file/folder as a

restricted zone folder on mycomputer, how to do this...

Re: Restricred sites zone

And like I told you, the answer is that some 3rd-party application almost

certainly did it for you, that there is no normal Windows setting that you

can access to do it.

I'm GUESSING that if you want to do it manually, you dig into the Registry

to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zone

Map\Domains. The sub-keys of that Key list Domains and the DWORD value

within the Key denotes the Zone (there are 4, Restricted Zone being 4.) You

simply create a DWORD value, name it with an asterisk, nothing more, and

give it the value 4.

The name of the key needs to be in "domain format". For example: Not

C:\Windows\Cookies, but rather 127.0.0.1/windows/cookies (note the forward

slashes.) I tested using that format and it worked. It put the Cookies

folder into the Restricted Zone. I suspect you could use localhost in place

of 127.0.0.1, but I can't test, because even though I entirely erased the

Key, and rebooted, the folder still remains in the Restricted Zone. At least

that's its logo, which may be lying. Go figure.

In short, if you really want to know how it happened, you have to review ALL

of your protective applications, since any one of them could have done this

trick, I just don't know how to undo it.

I think it might have been PA Bear who might have once said Cookies may

open Explorer to C:\Windows\Cookies, I do see "Restricted sites" in the

status bar-- & I don't have the setting you speak of below or the one I

"Internet Options, Security tab, select Restricted Sites, Sites button"

Suppose you type that stuff into the top box there?

No, no-- I didn't mean to say PA suggested to do that! Maybe I'll try

Re: Restricred sites zone

I'm just saying that it makes sense that it's just an IE6SP1 thing, or

IE6.0, or whatever. But I'd have to install sequential versions of IE to

find out, and I don't want to. I just finished rebuilding the thing and may

rebuild it again this week.

Alright. Well, why not try your stuff in...?...

"Internet Options, Security tab, select Restricted Sites, Sites

Re: Restricred sites zone

Tried everything I could think of, there's no obvious way to put any local

folder into the Restricted Zone. As PA intimates, it seems to be one of

those "smoke & mirrors" tricks involving the TIF system. (Cookies are part

of the TIF system.) Like I said, blame fatigue and distractions, I was

totally off-base.

I remember that. Didn't it involve the Cookies/whatever that show up

in...

C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files, or

C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

....but not the ones in...

C\Windows\Cookies

...., which are real?

There seems to be a way if you consider a folder just a file. You write

this; file:\\localserver\filename .

I tried this and it is supposed to work according to the prompts there in

the security sites zones. The first time I tried this the web: pathname took

the string. The second time I tried it said the the object was already in a

zone...but Mycomputer"=0" symbol was still in the status bar not

restricted"=4". This is the Internet Options security tab I am referring

too. I have only one [file:] listed in the restricted zone and that is some

file:/// concerning Webroot and SpySweeper that must be going out on the

Internet. Anyway, try that and see what happens. I a did a repair today on

MSIEv.6 because I am having some problems in security zones. I tried the

Zonedout software from Spywarrior's restricted sites by E.Howes, and have

used Spybot S&D immunization, these maybe the culpret causing problem with

zones.

The software here by MS should have been straight forward like the above

examples. Even allowing the user to simply click the symbol to change the

zone of the current file/folder in windows explorer, not just IE.

Re: Restricred sites zone

I think my last post was right. It was done by some version of IE and not

via the Restricted Zone. As for what MS *should* have done, it's not a topic

I'm all that interested in. What they did in this case was to release a

version of Windows that has much more robust methods for keeping things

private and untouchable, which, of course, brought its own problems.
