[Martin Ortiz]

How does one programmatically change the security settings in IE (low -
medium - high)?

It's in the registry under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones

One key for each zone. One value for each possible setting. CurrentLevel
value indicates one of the preset templates, or Custom.

I'm not sure what the requirements are, but you might also want to consider
Group Policy as the way of controlling the settings centrally.

The following might be helpful, even if you just want to program the
changes:

You can, by the way, create your very own zone if you don't like (or are not
allowed to touch) the security settings of any of the pre-defined zones:
Local Intranet, Internet, Trusted, and Restricted.

See also IInternetZoneManager - I think it's just a wrapper for
manipulating these registry settings.
