Group Policy Settings Reference (Windows XP SP2 .ADM Files):

Implementing Registry-Based Group Policy:

My guess would be some registry setting in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\2

I would use one system to setup the trusted zone settings, and then export the reg file.
Something above might show you a more policy oriented way to do that.. IE with SP2 has a "Manage Add-ons" item on the Tools menu.
