intranet-zone

I need to deploy some trusted intranet sites into Intranet Zone in Internet Explorer. It works fine when using GPO at:

Setting Path: Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Internet Explorer/Internet Control Panel/Security

Page Supported On: At least Internet Explorer 6.0 in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1

Problem is this settings also affect other zones making it impossible for people in company to add sites to other zones themselves.

Is there a way to fix this so that Intranet Zone is deployed thru GPO and rest of settings stay in gesture of users?
