Add a trusted site to a locked Internet Explorer 8 zone

I am controlling the zones within IE via a GPO but I have machines outwith the office that don't come back in very often and there is a requirement to add a trusted site to the IE zone but it is locked atm.

Is there anyway as an administrator (I can remote onto the machine and sign on as admin/the user, etc) for me to add a zone to the Trusted Sites list without having to pull the machine back in or indeed to update the entire GPO for all users?

Thanx

Superb...done exactly what I want. The admin route didn't work unfortunately this time around (I did try that before but thanx for the suggestion).

Yes I do not think that approach will work because it's a current user setting in the registry.  So you would have authenticate as an admin then open regedit select a branch then file - open hive browse to their ntuser.dat then...  phew i'll stop here the script is the way to go !

glad to be of assistence
