As i told you before that i am VS and VS.Net(excluding asp.net) programmer and i don't have much idea about web development so i am learning different things which are in my mind from web point of view and as far as my this post is concerned i would like to know about all the changes that can be made in IE .I mean if you go to internet security properties you see two levels .One is custom level and the other one is default . I want to know how to change both.i.e. all the settings in custom settings and taking the security level down to low in custom settings.Please help bcoz web programming is turning out to be a new and interesting field for me.
Thanks

There is a tool you can download from the Microsoft Script Center called Tweakomatic.
This tool generates scripts to make changes to your windows or internet explorer settings.
I would suggest to download this tool and take a look at the generated scripts concerning the internet explorer security settings. They should get you started with what you're trying to do.

If you don't post an example of what your working on, we would all be just guessing on what you really want.

I hope that's not possible.
That would mean a serious security problem.
Imagine what a malicous person can do to your system if they could change the security settings of IE from a webpage...

The message that you are receiving are by design. IE security settings prohibit files from automatically downloading and some activeX controls from being loaded. An individual can relax the IE settings on their PC's or it can be done to multiple PC's if on a domain, and yes, some of this should be doable from a script, BUT it would have to be run on each individual PC and can leave the system open for attack. Also, this is not taking Firefox users into consideration as ActiveX is not supported in Firefox.

Thanks for your help but i am not interested in attacking someone instead i just want to do that task without any interruption from windows i.e i just want to know how can we change the settings using a scripting language programmatically.My aim is to learn as many programming techniques as i can.

I don't believe you're going to get an answer to your question here. (It's too big of a security risk)
Even if you only plan on running this against your own machine, what happens when someone else get's a hold of that code for malicious reasons?

If you're only concerned about running the script on your computer, no chance of "infecting" anyone else's computer, then just manually go in and change the settings on YOUR browser. Then you can run your script till your heart's content.
