Here's a way to simplify the process.

1. Create a .exe to ask for the domain (a textbox), specify the providers (as checkboxes: All, http, https, ftp) click "Add Site to Trusted Sites" to then do the following:
2. Create a temp folder on C: as "C:\TempTS\"
3. Create a .bat file ("C:\TempTS\AddTrustedSites.bat") similar to this:

set regFile="C:\TempTS\AddTrustedSiteTS.reg"

ECHO Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 > %regFile%

ECHO [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\MySecureDomain.com\www] >> %regFile

ECHO "https"=dword:00000002 >> %regFile%

regedit /s %regFile%

DEL %regFile%

The ECHO [HKEY_CURRENT_USER... and ECHO "https"... lines can be repeated for each provider checked. For the "ALL" provider, use an asterisk in place of "https", like such:

ECHO [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\MySecureDomain.com\www] >> %regFile% ECHO "*"=dword:00000002 >> %regFile%

Run the .bat file using this call:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\TempTS\AddTrustedSites.bat")

After the .bat file is ran (takes mere microseconds), delete both the bat file and tempTS directory.
