A. To add a site to a trusted zone in the IE Enhanced Security Configuration, perform the following steps:

  1. In the IE address bar, enter the URL for the Web site you want to visit.
  2. IE will display an error that says "Content from the Web site listed below is being blocked by the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration."

  3. Click Add in the dialog box that appears onscreen.
  4. When IE displays the "Trusted sites" dialog box, click "Add," then click Close. IE will add the site to the trusted zone.

Alternatively, if you're already viewing a Web site (e.g., a local intranet site), you can go to the IE File menu and select "Add this site to - Trusted Sites Zone" to add the site to the trusted zone.

I wish there was a way on the "Content blocked" dialog to allow a single file to come through without trusting the entire site.
