Hi Chandra, Thanx for your suggestions. I will beiefly explain my application scenerio. Our Client is already having a JSP application which is responsible to supposed to bring an application (on the client's machine) to life. I am using a test JSP page, where in I am using _javascript_ to envoke the application. Now since the IE won't allow this to happen with normal security settings I need to manually enable the "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe� setting in the Internet zone since the JSP application has an Internet scope. But to avoid compromising the modification in security I am setting the JSP application as Tructed one too. I want to automate the above process of enabling the security setting and registering the JSP application's url as coming from a Trusted site. I can modify the Registry Settings programmatically [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3] by setting the dword attribute "1201" as 1. But is this advisable to modify the registry settings like this. I can also use the IEAK Policy Manager for modifying IE security settings across the n/w but its still a maunal job. Please advise........ thanx and regards, Saurabh |
