internet explorer 7 - Selenium IEDriverServer unable to configure protected mode due to security policy -

is listed as following a requirement:

On IE 7 or higher Windows Vista or Windows 7, you have to set the protected mode setting for each zone as the same value. The value can be turned on or off, as long as it is the same for each region.

Unfortunately, where I work, the protected mode setting in the corporate security policy is locked, unable to make changes to the setting.

Is there any way to work on this issue and to work on the IEDR server? Or is Selenium an alternative to corporate environments that runs IE 7+ on Windows 7, where users are being prevented from changing protected mode settings?

Thanks, Dave

I solved it by editing it directly in the registry.

Although the following is an example of Java, it can be used in another language similarly
