Is there a way to copy IE9 Internet Options|Security settings in English other than make several screenshots?
The registry only has the code names in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\
Though most of the codes are translated here

Any ideas?
What is your goal with this? If you are wanting to be able to easily restore your IE9 security settings or recreate them on another computer, you might be able to use Group Policy to acomplish that.

jdc2000--I want to compare them among several PC's.
I do not think I will use it, but your link does not seem to work.
Google:
ie9 group policy
Just some of the links:

One of them may have what you are looking for.
I have scripting disabled in my INTERNT ZONE almost ALL THE TIME and one time i tried to disable them IN THE "MY COMPUTER" zone and some apps had issues i remember.....
If none did,i would leave them disabled there also!!
I had to change the "Flags" value of ZONE 0 to 47 (The "My Computer" zone is hidden by default ON ALL OS's)
My "My Computer" zone is set to HIGH security...
jdc2000--Thanks, but
The first link you suggest seems to offer a list of Default settings. (Or have I misunderstood?) What I want is a list of the existing settings on my PC's.
Concerning the other links, I have no Group Policy settings.
I realize that you may not be using the Group Policy settings for IE, however, the Excel spreadsheet is what you need. It lists the registry keys you would need to compare to see if the settings on various computers are the same.
Of course, depending on how many computers you want to compare settings on, and how often you want to compare them, the screen capture method may be faster. If you have lots of computers or need to compare frequently, then it would be worthwhile to develop a procedure or program to extract the registry data and compare it.

Tip: When running it, uncheck the "Use compression" option so you'll be able to read|compare the files.Quote:

jdc2000-
the Excel spreadsheet is what you need ???
Having the data in an Excel spreadsheet would be fine. But where do I get the data?
SpywareDr--I was hoping that BackReg would do the job. When I ran it I got a ton of data, but it does not seem to provide the Internet Options|Security tab data in English. (Lots of numbers like 1204--just like the Registry.)
Or can you direct me to that info?
P.S. BackRex produces files like .bzp . Luckily, 7 Zip opens that. :)
The Excel spreadsheet at the link in the previous post shows which Registry entries are used to control the various settings. If you want to automate the comparison, you would export or otherwise grab the registry entries (can be done with VBA macros), and put them into a spreadsheet for each computer, ideally with the entry for each value on the ame row in each spreadsheet. Then, you can compare the spreadsheet values to see which of them are different. You could probably also use the BackRex values to do the same thing.
jdc2000--
I assume you are talking aboutQuote:

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...s.aspx?id=9409
which is described as "This spreadsheet lists the policy settings for computer and user configurations included in the administrative template files (admx/adml) delivered with Windows Internet Explorer 9. "
What does this have to do with my present settings? I have never knowing used or modified Group Policy.
I think I know where the Registry info is, but it is in code for each setting.
What I want is just a way of creating a PC's Internet Options|Security settings|Custom Level list in English so I can compare the list from one PC to another. It looks like the way is to take multiple screenshots. I was hoping there was a way to do it more quickly.
There is no way to get the info in English that I know of unless you write your own software or find a program that someone has already written. The method I described would allow you to compare the settings though.
As I mentioned, if you are comparing the settings form lots of computers or doing this task frequently, then an automated method might be worthwhile. Otherwise, screen capture printouts might be your easiest method.
When comparing gadzillions of lines like that, setup the computer do it. It'll be a lot more acurate in pointing out the differences.Quote:

Still a lot more work than just comparing screenshots.
Thanks to you and jdc2000 for your efforts.
Let the computer do it; some type of fc (file compare). Something that'll help you zero in on the differences, (so you don't have to wade through all the stuff that's the same).
