| | trouble adding to Restricted sites in IE Options Vista home premium, SP1 Internet explorer 7.0.6001.18000 attempting to add an address to the Restricted sites in the security tab of Internet Options. specific site is search.live.com, but applies to any other as well. response is that Sites added to this zone must use the https// prefix. This assures a secure connection. That response is expected when adding to the Trusted sites, not the restricted sites. I have in the past added sites to the Restricted sites, currently there are three sites in the list *.intellitext.com *.kontra.com *.pulse360.com none of which have prefix of https:\\ Any clues as to what is happening would be welcome.

| | Re: trouble adding to Restricted sites in IE Options Tried resetting each of the zones, no effect on the problem of adding a site to the Restricted sites. Downloaded SpywareBlaster, it successfully added a big bunch of sites into the restricted sites list. Thanks for input.

I just tried it on my system and it accepted the entry without complaint. I am also using Vista SP1 and IE7. I don't know if this is relevant, but are you running an Admin or Limited User account? |
