IE Security Settings

[Guest]

I'm in the process of "re-creating" my main Win2K system on another
machine by doing a freshh install.

I've successfully imported my IE bookmarks and cookies to the new
machine but is there any way that I can transfer or import my IE
security settings from the first machine to the second?

It's easier than you think probably:

Export Trusted Zone & Restricted Zone domains list to separate REG files:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#zones

However, with all registry operations...

Notes:
* Just so you know editing the registry isn't the brightest thing to do
though many of us do it all the time. However, you have been warned. For a
better warning:

** Before you do this it would be wise of you to right click in the
left-hand pane on the appropriate branch and selecting the "export" option
to save it to a safe location so that you might restore it.

Thanks, Galen .... looks like just the job. I'll give it a whirl.
