A. By default Internet Explorer has 4 security zones howeverits possible to add a 5th by directly editing the registry. If you copy thefollowing into 5th.reg then double click the fifth zone will be created:

@=""
"DisplayName"="Internet with Cookies"
"Description"="This zone contains all Web sites you haven't placed in other zones"
"Icon"="inetcpl.cpl#001313"
"CurrentLevel"=dword:00000000
"MinLevel"=dword:00011000
"RecommendedLevel"=dword:00011000
"Flags"=dword:00000003
"1001"=dword:00000001
