    Disable IE's Access To The Registry


    Is it possible to switch on an option to limit or prevent IE from accessing the registry to read information.

    Or are there applications out there that can interfere with IE's ability to read the registry?


    Thanks in advance

    Please fill in your ((My System Specs)) completely.
    What makes you think I.E. is reading your registry?
    Explain your concerns more completely.

    I'm using banking software that stores information about the application in the registry, You have to login to the banking software website and before you do, you need to install their security software in order to proceed. That stores information in the registry. Is is there any option in IE that prevents this reading from being done properly?
    thanks
    I'm using Win7 and IE8

    I know of know way the I.E. itself can take things out of the registry.
    NOTE: If you are using I.E. or any other browser and you get infected from something you got from the web, that can take your banking information.
    Please list the security programs you are using.

    I recommend using I.E. 9 because it includes a lot of security improvements.
