Why does IE 8 have a "Local intranet" zone? (Shouldn't these sites be placed under "Trusted sites" as intranet sites are generally trusted?) TIA, Barkingdog

Its used to distinguish security levels for script/code execution. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/174360

Hi, Please refer to the following links: Change Internet Explorer Security settings Local intranet: The level of security set for the Local intranet zone is applied to websites and content that is stored on a corporate or business network. The security level for the Local intranet zone is set to Medium (but you can change it to any level). Trusted sites: The level of security set for Trusted sites is applied to sites that you have specifically indicated to be ones that you trust not to damage your computer or information. The security level for Trusted sites is set to Medium (but you can change it to any level). Security zones: adding or removing websites Regards, Sabrina Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
