    Hi all, I'm stuck. Please help me. I'm would like to be able to change the Internet Explorer Security settings/options from my own C# application. Because my browser object seems to use the settings from Internet Explorer. Not sure if they can be separate or not (meaning for the browser object in my own application to have it's own setting)? Is doable? I've heard you do it through the registry, but all the info out there is very limited and I'm new to this. Please if you can give me a sample code at least to point me in the right direction. I would like to be able to specifically change the ActiveX setting Enable/Disable, and the JavaScript one. Thanks SO MUCH!

      These are set for all instances of IE. I don't know how to set them outside of IE, but I'd hope that it's hard. I mean, that's kind of nasty, don't you think ?

          You and every virus writer on the planet. This would represent a major security hole, and is not allowed from an embedded control.

            Wow...that's such a simple thing and noone here know how to do it. All the security settings are in the registry, I don't see why it would be so hard for someone who knows. I think those webBrowser objects are useless if you can't change the settings of your own browswer object, from your own app. Come on guys that's ridiculous. Can a sound programmer please answer my question.

              I think there are many people here who know how to do it.

              Yes, that is easy, but access is restricted from the sandbox of an ActiveX control. For reasons that have been clearly explained to you.

              No it isn't - And you know it!

              A sound programmer would refuse to answer such a question.
