Adding Trusted Sites - Unblocked Downloads

At times you'll need to add your domain to trusted zones, and allow it to launch items.  This is necessary to avoid the annoying popup blocking that occurs when opening archived messages (especially if you do so frequently).  To get around this you can do the following:


1. Create a reg file out of the text between the lines.  Be sure to replace domain.net with yours.

--------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\domain.net]
"https"=dword:00000002
--------------------

Running this will add your domain to the trusted zones. 

 

2.  You can then make the change on  HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Zones \ 2

Zone 2 = Trusted Sites

Value data for 2200
0  - Automatic prompting for file downloads is Enabled
3  - Automatic prompting for file downloads is Disabled

Value data for 2201
0  - Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls is Enabled
3  - Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls is Disable



Now instead of getting this:












You'll get this right away:
