Security settings in IE6

[woody]

What is it that is controlling the security settings in IE on our network. The default level is set to medium, but I can't seem to lower that or change individual settings on any PC on the network, even when logged in as the local administrator. I've checked in group policy to see if a policy is controlling this setting but I can't find one. I created a policy that set the security level to low, but after logging in and out on a PC a few times, and even restarted the PC just to give the policy time to kick in, the settings still remain at Medium.

What's going on here? I only want to enable active X to install latest flash player.

Anybody got any thoughts on this?

I take it you have changed the policy at the correct level and that your GP inhertiance is correct ?
Where are you making the change in the policy ?

User Config-->Admin Templates-->Windows Com-->IE ?

Thans for reply mattx.

It is only for staff that I am trying to change the policy. Firstly, I can't understand why I am not able to change the settings on a client when logged in as staff - I haven't got any restriction applied in any of the inherited GPs.

I have tried to change the following area of GP: Userconfig > Windows Settings > Internet Explorer maintenance > Security.

It didn't seem to have an effect. I checked the User Config > Admin Templates > Windows Components >IE and there's nothing set there.

Hope this gives you more of a picture as to what is happening
