This is presently an unorganized dump of things that I have written in emails to people with questions. I'll organize it soon..

When debugging is enabled, URLs get matched against one or two sets of regular expressions. One is to determine if it's a web URL or not, and the other is the set of regular expressions that the administrator defines. It's typical to pass the test of being a web URL, but then fail on the administrative regular expression.

It's possible to turn off the IE URL Lock in a specific user through the Tools->Options screen in Internet Explorer, clicking on the "Programs" tab, clicking on the "Manage Add-ons" button, and then disabling IEURLLock. Unfortunately, other users can do that, too, though I think I might have a solution using registry permissions that I can roll into a future release as an administrative option to prevent users from disabling IE URL Lock. For now, that's probably the easiest way to turn off IE URL Lock in a specific user account.

Unfortunately, the present version of IE URL Lock does not properly support per-user settings when Active Directory is not used. From what I've tried, the user policy on a local machine applies to all users on the machine, though different users and groups of users can have different settings in Active Directory.
