Manage Zone Members Window

The Manage Zone Members window allows you to add the computers, networks, and Web sites that you trust to the Trusted Zone. (More on Zones.)

The security settings for the Trusted Zone will apply to the computers that are assigned to the Trusted Zone here. All other computers will be controlled by the Internet Zone security settings.
