to opt-out of the new cross-domain protection feature (which blocks access to scripts on the local file system).

Opting your application out of this feature leaves it vulnerable to web sites that may scan your computer looking for script files or other information. If your application is designed to host arbitrary content, this option is not recommended.

 

 

1.       Click “Start”, “Run”.

2.       Enter “regedit”

3.       Find and select the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

   SOFTWARE

      Microsoft

         Internet Explorer

            MAIN

               FeatureControl

4.       Click “Edit”, “New”, and “Key”

5.       Enter FEATURE_BLOCK_LMZ_SCRIPT

6.       Next, click “Edit”, “New”, and “DWORD”

7.       The name should be set to the process name of the application experiencing the problem. (In our case IE)
8.       The Value (double-click on the newly created entry) should be set to “0” (this opts the process out of this feature, enabling the workaround)

9.       Close the Registry Editor

10.   Close all open instances of the affected process (and IE) and restart the program.

We need to do this for the purpose of a client.

I know the best plan is not to do this, although it is necessary, and I am wondering will SEP protect us against these threats which may be more prevelant?

Thanks.
