Need a way to Manage Internet Explorer's Zones?
If so, then ZonedOut is for you. Add, Delete, Import, Export, Build a WhiteList and More: Now includes Restricted, Trusted and Intranet Zones.

Important Notes:
Known Issue (all versions) -If you have by chance "immunized" your computer with Spybot Search and Destroy, and use ZonedOut to "Remove All" restricted sites - ZonedOut will remove your trusted sites as well. Note that if you remove Spybot Search and Destroys Immunization the problem goes away…

All Versions - ZonedOut only manages IE Zones for the "Current User" - and not on a "Local Machine" Basis.

General Usage Notes:
Installing - Put ZonedOut.exe in its own directory. There is no installation. Simply delete the directory to "uninstall"
Selections -In the List Controls, holding Ctrl while selecting allows for multiple line selection. Shift will allow you to select in groups.
White List and Import, Export files - These are plain text files that can be edited with an external editor. The White List ("zwhite.txt") can be imported just like any other file.
Remarks -Text files for import can contain Remark lines - they are designated by "**" - two asterisks.

ZonedOut 1.1
Sept. 6, 2005

Change Log:
Version 1.1 9-6-05
-Added- option to report failures on import.
-Changed- exporting to a more reliable import friendly format.
-Optimized- numerous items

Important Note:
New in Version 1.1 - is the ability to check for failures when importing Restricted Sites from a file. There are several reasons for failures and most of them are strange anomalies within the Internet Explorer interface which ZonedOut utilizes for Adding and Removing Restricted Sites. Optionally - ZonedOut will give you a list of Sites that failed to Import, and recommend that you add those sites to your computers "hosts" file for protection
