SP2 Ie Zone Security changes

IE in sp2, changes the way zones are handled. There are now new registry keys that will need to be changed if you want to do any sort of complicated development involving unsigned active x controls in IE. They basically copied the Zones keys into Lockdown_Zones. The information is the same.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Lockdown_Zones\0 You're going to want to change the Flags dword, if you want to be able to change the "My Computer" zone options through the gui. This is an annoyingly hidden fact. Local files have their own security zone, and by default everything is not at low security. Thats great for mom and pop at home, but very much no great for my development box. It can't hurt me that much as I only use firefox for my browsing anyway. "Flags"=dword:00000047 Will enable the my computer zone, to your local html will finally no longer see the unsafe active x control message. That is, after you disable the setting.
