Hi,
Is there any way to find that the web site is added already in trusted sites list for Internet Explorer using registry values?
I know reading registry through javascript is not a good programming but it is my intranet application and I have to do it to achieve some functionalities.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Lok

No there is no way to read Registry settings of a Windows OS through JavaScript. The JavaScript run in the sandbox of the browser and has no knowledge of the system running the browser.

This would be one huge security hole. You can just imagine the problems if a web site was allowed to access a clients system.

Yes we can read registry values. I have already done that. But just don't know where to look for sites added in trusted zone.
