Internet Explorer 5.0 and Trusted sites

[tahirbutt]

Hi All,

Can anyone help with, how to add a URL to the IE5.0 Trusted sites programmatically ?

What do you mean programmatically? If it is through the web browser via scripting it shouldn't be able to be done for obvious security reasons. In an external program, I think it's in the registry, but you might want to look at the IE Admin Kit from Microsoft.

The only way you can get close to doing this, is to create a .reg file that the user must "open from current location". That will enter the site into the trusted sites list. I did this a while back for a client who had users accessing the app from across the net in the UK and the US. But, this alone doesn't solve all your problems. Because by default, the settings for Trusted Site aren't significantly different. You must also change those settings in the .reg file.

And more importantly, the user must choose to open it.

I'll dig around and see if I can find the file I made..
