Special Edition Using Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 4.0

Establishing and Maintaining Internet Security Zones

Internet Explorer 4.0 includes dozens of security settings. Applying each of those options to individual web sites would be impractical; instead, the system enables you to group sites into four security zones, each with its own high, medium, or low security settings. Initially, as Table 20.1 shows, all sites are divided into two groups: those inside your company's intranet and those on the Internet. As part of a comprehensive security policy, you can designate specific web sites as trusted or restricted, giving them greater or less access to machines inside your network.
