I have run in to this error on the 2003 Server, and just removed in the
enhance internet security. I am getting this same error on a windows XP
workstation. I am unable to lower the default security level. It is based
on USER only, so I am assuming because the person that is affected has a
roaming profile and administrative rights, he logged into the server and
something in his profile has change. My question is how can I resolve this
error on a windows XP Machine?

"The recommended security level for this zone is High. The level that
you have chosen is lower than this. Please choose a security level of
High or higher" It then resets itself to "High"
 
This worked to fix my case on Windows XP:

1. run registry editor (regedit.exe) and open
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\TemplatePolicies\" key.
2. choose a key below that represents the level you want to set as lower
limit.
(High/Medium/MedLow/Low)
3. note the value of "TemplateIndex" shown in right pane (like 0x00010000).
4. then open
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones" key.
5. choose a key below that represents the zone that you want to change.
(0 for local zone, 1:intranet 2:trusted sites 3:internet 4:restricted sites)
6. change the "MinLebel" value that shown in right pane to the value you
noted in (step 3.).
(...and RecommendedLevel too, if it doesn't work.)

I don't know it works on 2003 server too, but worth to try.
