    Hi,

    System Administrators would use GPEdit.msc to maintain those settings on a Network....

    Users use Internet Options....

    neither has to know the actual Registry keys, but you can find out using procmon.exe (Process Monitor) or reading the MSDN documentation.

    Rob, valid point but not what I was asking for.

    I know I can use GPOs but is breaking other sites in my environment.

    I think I am all set.

    I downloaded Active Registry Monitor, took a snapshot of registry, made a change in IE and took another snapshot of the registry so I can compare it. And bingo, it is giving the reg key entries of the old entry and new entry.

    Also, as a reference I checked this website: http://networkdog.blogspot.com/2011/04/internet-explorer-9-configurations.html
