In many areas in win98 you can "shift A" or hold the "ctrl" button down and
click multiple items to change or delete at once etc. I want to now "Block
cookies" for a whole lot of websites that I have previously "allowed cookies"
for. In the "override cookie" area in the "internet properties, security
section", I only know how to change one entry at a time and I have at least a
thousand of changes to make. Is there any magical combination of keys to
press down that will allow me to Multi Highlight all of the web sites that i
want to change (or now block), or do i have to do this one slooooow website
at a time? And if you know the answer to this is there a magical wildcard
option that you can use for the "registry" ? I would appreciate any help I
can get, thank you.

FWIW, the entries in the lists for Managed Web Sites that you refer to, are taken
from the sub-keys of this Registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

The DWORD value determines whether the site is allowed or restricted. For example
the subkey named 101lottery.com is not allowed, and so it has a DWORD of 4, whereas
a site in the Trusted Zone will have a DWORD of 2.

There is a small mention of the sub-keys here:

In IE 5.5 and earlier, Cookies permission is handled via Security Zone
differentiation, yes, but I think, perhaps, that OP is looking for the
locations of settings found in "Per Site Privacy Actions", aka Advanced
cookie handling, found on the Privacy tab of IE 6 Settings. Yes, they're
labeled "Managed Web sites", but those aren't Zone settings.

Each site is a sub-key of:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\P3P\History

Each key has a single DWORD Value named (Default), 1 meaning "Always
Allow", and 5 meaning "Always Block"

Either way, whether IE 5.x or IE 6, I can see a couple or three ways to
do what OP wants:

1. If IE6, Remove All sites from this list in the IE 6 Internet Settings
location, and then deal with them on an individual basis when they once
again Prompt for cookie acceptance.

2. Export the entire parent key using REGEDIT, then use a decent text
editor that has "Replace" function in Edit>Find. Replace "00000001" with
"00000005" (or not) as each "00000001" is found.

3. Use a script to read an Export of the parent key, prompting with name
of each currently Allowed site and asking whether to change it to
"Always Block".

I can think of a few variations on 3, but no way, whatsoever, to make it
any simpler than that.

My choice of method would probably depend on the current ratio of
"Always Allow" to "Always Block", and I'd *probably* just use "Remove
All" and start over. But I'm not real clear on the context for this
issue. If other users are part of the equation, for instance, and OP
wants to enforce these settings. But the only way to do what the OP is
actually asking to do, use <Shift> or <Ctrl> keys and mouse to select,
would be to rewrite the code for that dialogue in IE. Not feasible.

I don't know if it will work in that area but if you select one then
hold down the shift key and select another one it selects everything
in-between.

I like that idea and probably never would have thought of it! I have an old
DOS text editor (UED) that would do that really slick. Highlights them as
you go along and lets you decide whether to replace or not.
