HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet 
Settings\ZoneMap\ProtocolDefaults\about = 4

I am not able to reproduce this workaround.

During our brief conversation after his original post, I indicated to Andrew that 
I use Win95 4.00.950 B and IE 5 5.50.4522.1800.  No matter which value, 1 
through 4 , that I use, I am unable to get about URLs in anything other than the 
Internet Zone.  This includes setting the value to 4 and rebooting.
