For example a <meta http-equiv="refresh"> can redirect to a page not within the Restricted Sites zone, and a <frame> or <iframe> can include content from a non-restricted site. It is also possible to create an about:<script>...</script> URL, which injects scripts into the Internet zone. Such URLs cannot be put in the Restricted Sites zone using the normal IE Security tab. Microsoft have refused to remove this undocumented behaviour. So essentially the Restricted Sites feature offers zero security protection by design. Users should not rely on it to enforce stricter settings than present in the Internet Zone. -- Andrew Clover mailto:andat_private http://and.doxdesk.com/
