Default Reset Security Level with VBA?

if you fiddle with the registry setting a la Harald's suggestion, and
malicious code infects your user computer and your/their corporate
networks, it won't be just phone calls you have to worry about. {grin}


Hi Tushar

Very good point.
I've written "don't ever do that" too many times and gotten a few well
earned "mind your own business" in return. I've learnt that sometimes there
are valid, productive reasons to programmatically hijack a computer. I
choose to (but don't really) believe that anyone skilled enough to do it is
skilled enough to know the consequences.

Ok, for the record: Don't fiddle with registry settings that deals with
other applications than your own. Don't change screen resolution. Don't
write system modal windows, forms or prompts. Don't disable functionality.
Don't lower system security. Don't blame the norwegians.

Best wishes Harald
