But that begs the question, how did things get so restricted in the first place? The default settings are rather permissive, so if the users are running into problems, then they or someone else with access to the system had, at some point in time, changed those settings.
As an aside, I note that the Windows security policy is not very tight if it has to rely on applications to enforce it.
Well, it's kinda hard to do otherwise without getting too draconian. This is why corporate IT administrators are picky about what apps they allow--if the app is uncooperative, then it probably would not be allowed.
Are the security zone settings also reachable from the Control Panel?
Yes, and that's how I normally access them, too (see teoli2003's post). These settings had always been intended to serve as system-wide settings (and had always been accessible from the system CP)--it's just that non-Microsoft apps have been slow to adopt them (but many do!).
