Export Internet Explorer Security Zone Information

Internet Explorer assigns a security zone to any website that the user is visiting. Next to the two generic zones Internet (all that are not in another zone), Local Intranet (local sites) are Trusted sites and Restricted Sites. Trusted sites will usually have a lower security level than restricted sites. One could for instance move financial sites or sites from companies like eBay or Amazon into the Trusted sites list. Restricted sites are those that should be accessed with lower permissions. Good for websites that need to be accessed but are not that trusted.

If a user accesses the Internet with multiple computers he might want to use the same security zone settings on all of them. The easiest way to do that would be to export the security zones on one computer and export them to all others instead of adding sites to the zones manually on all computers.

Internet Explorer is storing the security zone information in the Windows Registry. To export the settings of the currently logged in user one would have to open the Registry with [Windows R], typing [regedit] and hitting [Enter].

The Registry key is located at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

To export only the Zone settings

or

TO Export all the internet setting.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

• To gain access to the registry, click Start|Run, type regedit, and click Enter.
• Choose File|Export and choose "All" in the Export Range section, saving the file as "Backup.reg".
• Navigate to the above mentioned key.
• You'll want to export (Right-click->Export) the following keys from here:
  • ZoneMap
  • Zones
• You could probably save them as "ZoneMap.reg" and "Zones.reg", respectively.
• Upon exporting these keys, copy the REG files to the other computer.
• Once completed, you'll want to open the registry and create a backup as on the first machine (Steps 1 & 2).
• Close the Registry Editor.
• Double-click "ZoneMap.reg" and "Zones.reg", one-at-a-time, clicking Yes in the prompt that appears.
• If you mess anything up, just double-click the "Backup.reg" file you created earlier and click Yes in the prompt.

You can use "ZoneMap.reg" and "Zones.reg" on as many machines as you need to, just remember to create new copies whenever you need to change anything.
