What does setting the internet zone security level to high actually do?

I was asked to set the Internet zone security level to high via a GPO, this has been done for a test group of users. The setting has been confirmed, but as far as I can see it has not actually done anything.
Can anyone tell me what changes I should see to the behavior and/or access of websites now the security level is set to high?

Hi,
Setting the internet zone security level to high might prevent harmful content with maximum safeguards and less secure features are disabled.
When you visit some sites with script pop up, the script will be disabled if you set the security level to the high level. For more information about
the internet zone security level, please refer to this:

What does knowing the number of "views" tell us about a thread.

10 Points to the person who can give a cogent, rational, non-apologetic answer to the questions posed below, which are based on the premiss set forth just before it. (Please feel free, if you see fit, to dispute the premiss).
PREMISS:
People might "look" at a thread for a whole host of reasons -- whether it be to read the thread and contribute, or just to lurk, or because the thread's title was ambiguous, or funny, or in some other way remarkable apart from any substantive value it may have, or, even, just by accident, because the person clicked on the wrong button and inadvertently "looked" at the thread for a nanosecond before exiting. And probably for other reasons as well.....
QUESTION:
In light of the foregoing, what does knowing the number of "views" tell us other than what it says, i.e., does it tell us anything apart from the number of people that have for whatever reason literally just taken a look at the thread?
If the answer to the above question is nothing -- i.e., the number of "views" tells us just that, the number of "views" and nothing more -- then why is this information so prominently featured, instead of, say, the information that used to be present under the old Discussions system, such as the number of unread posts in a particular thread, which is data that actually has a value as something other than a statistic. Knowing the number of unread posts indicates to someone following a particular thread, whether there has been additional contributions to the thread that should be reviewed if one is to remain current on the substance of that particular discussion. The extent of the additional contributions (if any) are readily apparent from the count).
The little, difficult-to-discern-on-my-PowerBook's-screen tiny blue dot can hardly be said to take the place of the unread post count, as it shows the same indicator for one new post as it does for ten or even a hundred.
Thanks for your help with this.

Hi Scott --
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. It did help, and I've even marked it "helpful" under the new, bizarre point system to evidence this fact. (BTW, my "offer" of a point award was more a misplaced attempt at sardonic humor aimed at deriding the new point system, with which I have a number of strong disagreements, than it was an effort to bribe thoughtful replies like yours. Please know that I really do appreciate the time and effort you took to get back to me on this and meant no disrespect by the "reward" point bounty).
That said, I do have one follow up. You write that "the idea behind this [use of "views" rather than number of posts unread] is that even discounting curiosity, boredom, funny title, et al., the number of folks that have looked at a thread should bear some relation to the number of folks who are having that issue."
I just don't think that that's the case. I don't think it sufficently discounts curiosity, boredom, funny title, et al. Those are some pretty powerful motivations for people to peruse this site. And there are many, many others as well.
Of course I can only speak with certainty of my own personal experience with the Discussions, but based on that, I know have "viewed" numerous threads on subject matters that not only wasn't I experiencing, but on subject matters that I couldn't possibly experience,because it concerned Mac hardware or software that I don't own or have never used.
In some cases, I looked at threads where the subject line sounded interesting, or amusing, or provocative, in other cases I looked at threads that concerned hardware or software that I once owned (and so I thought I might be able to help with the problem at issue), in still other cases the thread concerned software and/or hardware that I was considering purchasing (and wanted to know what I might be getting into). With regard to the former of those two reasons, I know there were many, many instances where, based on the title of the post, I knew that I could help and I viewed the post as a form of oversight (so to speak) to make sure that the responses being left were providing accurate and complete information.
In my "view," though clearly not in the "view" of the Mods, et al. for reasons (thanks to your post) that I can at least better articulate (if not understand or agree with), a thread's number of "views" is susceptible to just too many possible meanings to make it of any real use. The number of unread posts (and by this I refer to the old numeric value of posts not yet read and not that illegible little blue dot used in the new system) may not be perfect information, but it is certainly more useful in my "view" than the number of "views." (I apologize for those poor puns on the word "view," but in my "view" they were unavoidable, sort of. See what I mean
Anyway. I really do thank you for your reply and the time and effort you took to make it. But, alas, with each hour I use these New Discussions, the more convinced I become that my continued time on here is fading. With no more hope of leveling up, with even less hope of ever receiving any tangible sign of "thanks for your help" in the form of + votes (insignificant as they were, at least they were something, everyone like to feel appreciated), with the posts much more difficult to read on my PowerBook's screen and even more difficult to keep track of, and for a bunch of other reasons (some admittedly petty, and some that strike at the core of why and how I use this site), I fear that I will soon be saying farewell.
But till then, thanks once again for your thoughtful reply.

HT5312 What happened to the "send reset security info email to .....@...." link?

What happened to the "send reset security info email to .....@...." link at the bottom of the security questions? I forgot mine and cannot figure out how to send this email...

It's only there if you previously set up a rescue email, which isn't the same as an alternate email. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

What does mean the "i" of 9i?

Just wondering, what does mean the "i" at Oracle 9i?
And the "g" at 10g?

It was started with Oracle 8, included internet i to 8i, Basically one JAVA runtime engine included within the database itself to execute JAVA code, so Oracle 8 became 8i.
Grid computing (RAC) included with 10g.

Setting the Member & data build level dynamically

Hello, I have got a situation where i need to set the Member & data build level dynamically based on the member. The option "Build Multidimensional down to here"(OLAPMetaoutline Menu)can be used,But when we use this option i could not perform my task as i need set the Build level dynamically based on the member level.I have to set the level dynamically for the following instance.Suppose My time dimension hierarchy is as follows: BY Year BY Quarter By Month If the year is say 1995,then quarter level & month level data is not required. If the year is say 1998,then quarter level & month level data is required. Could anyone provide a solution for dynamically setting the Member & data build level? Thanks,Sathyan

i made odiwaitfordata as 1st step in package ,in this step the code looks like this
OdiWaitForData "-CONTEXT=GLOBAL" "-GLOBAL_ROWCOUNT=1" "-LSCHEMA=ORACLE_FCSAILS" "-POLLINT=1000" "-RESUME_KEY_OPERATOR==" "-SQLFILTER=EOC_STATUS='E'" "-TIMEOUT=0" "-TIMEOUT_WITH_ROWS_OK=YES" "-UNIT_ROWCOUNT=>=1" "-INCREMENT_DETECTION=NO" "-TABLE_NAME=BANK_BRANCH_STATUS" "-OBJECT_TYPE=T"
In the procedure,
Source command-select branch_CODE from BANK_BRANCH_STATUS WHERE EOC_STATUS='E'
Target command- Execute scenario for batch with branchid as a parameter... how to put up this in code form....could u suggest me?

what does mean the itune icon with a cable in the iphone screen?

I'm having exact same problem. I was installing the latest ios7 update (to fix some Facetime bug that I don't have) and this happened. I noticed in some other posts on similar problem to hold down the sleep and on buttons at the same time and tried that. No change. Then I plugged it into my laptop and it said it was in recovery mode. I'm now in the process of restoring the software.
I really hope I haven't lost all my contacts, notes, and photos.

I have the system "windows 8.1". When I try to install Photoshop Elements 9 I became the error Message; Photoshop can't be install, I need the Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. The setup will be closed.

There is a problem with IE10+ in that it is mistakenly seen as being IE1. To get around this either use a different browser or use compatibility view (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-10)

IE9 - Set Zone Security Level to Low

Hi,
I am trying to set the IE security Level to Low for Trusted Sites through GPO and Registry as well but still it doesnt apply.
I want to apply this setting for any user logging into the system.

Hi Maqsood,
>>and when i run the rsop it shows the policy has applied but it doesnt reflect on the IE.
Did we try to use Group Policy Preferences Internet Settings extension to configure the setting? Besides, what's our domain environment? If we are using GPP to configure this setting, and our server are Windows Server 2008 R2 and clients are Windows 7, we
can try to install the hotfix in the following KB article.
Internet Explorer Group Policy Preferences do not apply to Internet Explorer 9 in a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain environment
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2530309/en-us
Besides, if we used GPP to configure the security level setting, we need to make sure that the line under the setting was Green, or the setting would not get applied. If the line is not Green, we can press F6 to turn it to.

DFS question: What does "Set Active" mean on the DFS tab in windows server 2008

When I logged into server and went to the DFS tab to check and see if it was replicating between two of the different shares. I saw one share marked as "Active" What does that mean?
I also seen a button that said "Set Active" I am guessing its related to my above question.
I am guessing its the root? The directory that others pull from or something? I tried to google that all over and could not find anything specific to this question which I found very odd.

If you have multiple folder targets in the namespace then the 'Set Active' button is how you change the current referral (at a client level). Only enabled folder targets will be listed. Users can choose a different server if they wish (maybe
for performance reasons).

Can't connect to the internet - incompatible security?

I'm trying to connect to the internet, but when I put in the password (it says it's a WEP) to connect to the network, it would say "Incompatible Security." Does anybody have any idea why it says that?

I don't know exactly about that error message. I could make guesses.
Can you find out the model of the wireless basestation, and perhaps if the owners can provide more information about how they set it up? For example, there are 802.11 A, B, G N and some basestations have combination choices; there are several encryption methods and each has several variations; many basestations have several other possible security options and ways to enter the key or plain text password.
Oh, and your Powerbook - what model?
