You certainly can add any site to your trusted sites list and it has nothing

editing your registry.
I tried to do it through IE's Tools, etc. and it would only take an https
server address.
Don't know how to edit the registry to do that.
I just added tutorialsforopenoffice.org and although it did not resolve your
issue, it did change the message that pops up with XP Pro SP2 and IE 6.x
Interesting.
However, tutorialsforopenoffice.org provides tutorials, many of which are in
ODT files. Asking a user of Win XP Pro to edit his registry for that is not a
viable option.
Did you contact the organization behind the web site and inquire why their
content is being flagged by Microsoft software? Since you are fighting
Microsoft and their implementation of safe computing why not just download
the file, rename it and use it?
ODT is one of the Open Document formats. The real question is, whu is Microsoft
"fighting" Open Documents.
The reason this came up in the first place was the number of emails that
tutorialsforopenoffice.org was getting from people who would download an ODT
with XP Pro and IE, unzip it and not know what to do with the half-dozen or so
files that were in the archive.
I suspect the simplest solution is to tell people to dump IE in favor of
FireFox et al.
Thanks.
