New Registry Setting for IE: 1207

While investigating a minor software issue, I ran Sysinternals' REGMON and
discovered that Microsoft has introduced a new 'Zones' value:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]
"1207"=dword:00000003

This had not existed in the past, as verified by searching prior Registry
dumps, and probably was introduced with last Tuesday's update. Its value is
0 for Zones 0 thru 2 and is 3 (disable, presumably) for Zones 3 and 4. This
setting is also in the five HKLM Lockdown Zones, with ALL zones disabled, but
it is not in the USER portion of the Registry. Its occurrence here seemed to
be related to running RealPlayer after a 'smil' file was downloaded.

Nothing on Microsoft and MSDN sites explains this setting. Can someone clue
us in?
 
Tried the IE7 Private Beta group ? If a bonafied IE 7 Beta tester then you do know where to go, don't you?
 
Peter:

Thanks for your prompt reply! Unfortunately, this is not IE7; it is IE6.
I'm using XP/SP2 with IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519,
fully-patched. Whatever 1207 is, it is operative - and is being checked - in
IE6.

No, I do not have IE7, and do not have access to an IE7 Beta Group.
