I've not seen many people explore Outlook 2010 and Internet Zones yet. I have a restricted Internet Security Zone so I can run a vulnerable version of Java for testing against specific sites on my main Windows 7 workstation. When loading Outlook 2010, I did find it useful to see a conversation history of people. The trouble was, I got useful information and then an annoying error message saying "check security settings" with no specifics.
I run in High Security for the Internet Zone so I was sure that the error was related to some component of Outlook hitting the Internet Zone. The trouble was finding the content and how it was being rendered. After looking for a bit, I had a dumb idea: Check IE History. Sure enough, I saw plenty of %AppData%\Local\Temp\{GUID}.html files in temp. My default cygwin less warned that it was a binary file. Saving unicode handling errors for another day, I used notepad to view that it was requesting res://C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Office14\\1033\\SocialConnectorRes.dll/GIF/#290.
I then loaded the HTML file in IE directly. As far as I can tell, the entire point of loading this page is to pull social network conversations and display a pretty loading page. Still not positive what this connector DLL is doing tbut I hope this helps point someone in the right direction.
