HEY all,

I have several pc's that i have to set up. The main thing thats causeing me a headache is that i have to change loads of the options in internet options.

Stuff like, disable pop up blocker, enable active x downloads for signed and unsinged websites, allow auto running of active x scripts and such.

most of the changes are part of the scrollable options and require a simple tick in the box.

I also have to ADD a trusted site and set upa proxy for internet access (in lan settings)

my question.

Is there any way to automate this???

I think i know the answer as no, but i thought it was WORTH a pop. I have checked to see if iexplore.exe has any command line switches, which it doesn't.

Any ideas?Idea: Use Firefox

hehe just kidding.

Actually, I don't think there is. The import/export function in IE only applies to cookies and favorites. Perhaps if you copied IE's registry entry, which CONTAINS most of the settings information. I've never tried it, so I can't promise anything and would RECOMMEND against it as I'm not sure what will happen if you do. If you try that, you're doing it at your own risk.I don't think there is a way to automate what you're trying to do but I do know this, Never mess with the computer's registry unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.
One wrong move could result in you having to reinstall Windows.
