Hello,

We have a problem with the content advisor, we have a win2000 machine, there is one approved site that's blank and therefore allows all sites to be viewed. The user should be able to surf only a couple of sites placed in the approved sites(at the content advisor). When I remove the blank site and close explorer and lauch it again the blank site is back. On 98 machines you have the ratings.pol to delete but there is none on the 2000 machines. I tried to add the blank site to the blocked site but it didn't help. Is there way to solve this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

thank you for the quick reply, but the startpage is not the problem. The content advisor allowed sites tab-page:

V V V
V X .
.
Look at the third line, there is no site, so it allows all webpages, tried to remove it but doesn't help, it apears back in the allowed sites list when you boot or restart the IE...
Any sugestions?

Thanks,

Outliner
 
Two steps:
The password is held in the HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Ratings in a key labeled "key." Delete this key and it will set the password to blank.

Next, find and delete the file Ratings.pol. Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again. Choose View, Internet Options, click on the Content tab, and click on Disable. When asked for a password, don't enter anything, just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor, since there's no longer a password.

Then rebuild your Content Advisor table.
