How do I access trusted sites programmaticall y?

Hi,

How can I access the trusted sites list for the currently logged in
user programmaticall y? Is there some sort of IE API which I can call
to get this information or is it stored in a file anywhere? I need to
write a program which checks if certain sites are in a users list of
trusted sites and if not prompt them to add the sites. This is for use

with some browser based order system which are users use and they often

run into problems because they have not added the sites to there
trusted sites list.

Most grateful for any info
Pete

I do not think you can.

Probably, but this is a chicken-and-the-egg problem. You cannot access
private information before the site is in the Trusted Sites list.

Maybe I am missing something here, but would it not be best if you tried
it first and if did not work as supposed you can be sure that the site is
not in the Trusted Sites list, and you can advise your users accordingly
(with an alert())?
F'up2 cljs, please do not crosspost without Followup-To across
top-level hierarchies (comp.* and microsoft.*) next time. BTW,
microsoft.publi c.internetexplo rer is a hierarchy, not a single
newsgroup anymore; I removed it from the Newsgroups header.

The next step after Grant Wagner's simple solution to my "Get computer name" thread, is to automatically add the web application's site to the list of trusted sites in IE. Obviously, the user should get a popup first that says "Do you want to add this site?" I've looked through the Wscript doco in MSDN, but can't find a way of manipulating this browser setting.

Is this possible? I know about a bit about ODBC and found how to import an ODBC database stored on the computer, however I am after accessing an SQL database stored on a webserver. I'd like to keep it up to date, but that could probably be done with a macro. At the moment I'm just considoring possible options, so just need to know if it can be done, how easy and a rough idea of how.
