All Web Content Zones Are Set to Custom After You Upgrade to Internet Explorer 6
This article was previously published under Q300891
After you upgrade to Internet Explorer 6, all Web content zones are set to "Custom" on the
Security tab in the
Internet Options dialog box. As a result, the slider that you use to set your security settings is missing.
This behavior can occur because the default security settings have changed in Internet Explorer 6. All Web content zones are set to "Custom" to indicate that your existing security settings do not match the new default security settings.

A Description of the Changes to the Security Settings of the Web Content Zones in Internet Explorer 6
To work around this behavior, for each zone when you want to use the recommended default settings or when you want to use the slider to configure your security settings, click
Default Level. Then, you must re-configure any customizations that you have made to your security settings.
This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
