How to change IE options?

[clearguy]

Hi,

I use a script that needs to put the IE security level to high and deactivate the images.

I do it manually,but i's boring all the time,so I ask you how to make a script to do this?

Or just say where in the register are stocked these information,thanx.

Check the UDFs for IE UDFs those work well.

You could make a script that runs

Run('control inetcpl.cpl')oÝ÷ ٩ݶ§ë-vºw!¡ð¨ÚèÉbrK0)^¶°whÂ+!×^­% 1¯*.r¥vëÂ)âë_ºw-춶Ø^¢b¢{¢¼¨¸Z%-륨¶^¨ºêå

I have not tested this and I am pretty new to DllCall. I *think* that setting things to 0 would simulate a NULL call.

Thanx I'll try with inetcpl.cpl.

That with DllCall does'nt work,and it's a little hard to understand for me.

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "Display Inline Images", "REG_SZ", "no")

DllCall('WININET.DLL', 'long', 'InternetSetOption', 'int', 0, 'long', 39, 'str', 0, 'long', 0)

This will set all zones to high security and it wont display pictures. Calling the DllCall will update the all instances of IE to those settings. Without it you won't see a change until you restart IE.

This is good stuff.

Did you try passing an HWND into the DllCall to get it to activate for a single IE instance as well?

I'd love to see you break this down into unigue examples for images and security level and enter them into the snippets database

Thanx alot you really help me!

you are the man!!

Dale,

You cannot use a hwnd in the InternetSetOption function because this function relies on handles from wininet functions such as InternetOpen, InternetConnect.

It is true that Internet Explorer does use the wininet but each instance of an IE thread can run off the same wininet InternetOpen handle. Therefore you can only update all at once. I wish there was a way to only update a IE thread but to my knowledge you can not. However users could be able to call certain internet options if they used the InetGet functions and such.

What If I simply want to reset the security for all zones to default?
