Cure for IE's paranoia

After the update KB3025390 was installed for IE11, it's stopped to allow access to its internal objects from outside. As it was described in this article, this behaviour could be cured by the following registry changes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_DISABLE_INTERNAL_SECURITY_MANAGER]
"iexplore.exe"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_DISABLE_INTERNAL_SECURITY_MANAGER]
"iexplore.exe"=dword:00000001


Update: MS has released an update KB 3021952. To be installed to solve the issue instead of hacking the registry.
