IE-SPYAD for ZonedOut
Hi All:
Attached to this post is a version of the IE-SPYAD Restricted sites list that is designed to be used with the Internet Explorer zone management utility "ZonedOut":
Following is direct download link:
http://www.broadbandreports.com/r0/downloa…/iespyad_zo.zip
At present, full documentation for this version of IE-SPYAD is lacking, and you should consider this *beta* software. This version is equivalent to the Oct. 3 version of IE-SPYAD that was just released.
Notes:
- The main IE-SPYAD Restricted sites list is contained in the file IE-ADS.TXT. A separate file named IE-NFE.TXT contains optional sites that are "Not for Everyone." Yet another file (ADULT.TXT) with adult sites that were removed from the main IE-SPYAD list is stored in the \ADULT sub-directory. It is recommended that you load only the main IE-SPYAD list (IE-ADS.TXT).
- Before installing the IE-SPYAD Restricted sites list, please uninstall the current Restricted sites list by using either ZonedOut or the uninstaller that came with the last standard version of IE-SPYAD that you downloaded.
- ZonedOut will load the Restricted sites list only to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If you need to load a Restricted sites list to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, you'll need to use the standard IE-SPYAD2, which is available from:
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm#IESPYAD
- ZonedOut will load the Restricted sites list only to the "Domains" and "Ranges" Registry keys. If you're using Windows 2003 Server and have not disabled the Internet Explorer "Enhanced Security Configuration" component, you'll need to use the standard IE-SPYAD and edit the IE-ADS.REG file to use the "EscDomains" and "EscRanges" key. The standard IE-SPYAD is available from:
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm#IESPYAD
- When loading the Restricted sites list, ZonedOut will fail to load a small handful of domains with extremely long names. At present it is not known why ZonedOut fails to add those domains to the Restricted sites zone. The domains in questions are:

- Lines that are commented out with a double-asterisk (**) are ignored by ZonedOut when it parses a Restricted sites file.
- For a full discussion of issues related to IE-SPYAD and the Restricted sites zone, please see the standard IE-SPYAD ReadMe online:

Note that the above ReadMe contains some information that is pertinent only to the standard versions of IE-SPYAD, which use Registry files (.REG) and a batch file installation program.
