To set up security zones

In Outlook Express, security zones enable you to decide whether active content, such as ActiveX Controls and scripts, can be run from inside HTML e-mail messages. You can choose a moderate level of security that allows most active content to run, or you can choose a more restrictive security zone.

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Security tab.
2. In the Security Zones section, choose an Internet Explorer security zone to use:

   • Choose the Internet zone for standard use. It is used by a majority of Outlook Express users.

   • Choose the Restricted sites zone to create a more secure environment.

Note

• You can adjust the security level of these and other zones in Internet Explorer. Security settings that you make in Internet Explorer also apply to Outlook Express. Go to Internet Explorer, and on the Tools menu, click Internet Options and adjust your settings on the Security tab.
