Hi all, How could i disable the CONTENT ADVISER, my problems that some user are putting password on it, and the other user can´t see web page without that password.

thanks in advance

Here's how to kill off a password and disable the advisor:

The following steps will remove any password set in the Content Adivisor and allow you to reset the program to its original state.
1) Click on Start and choose Run.
2) Type in RegEdit and select OK.
3) Now click on the little plus sign to the left of [H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE].
4) Continue down, clicking the plus signs of the named key, through 'Software', 'Microsoft', 'Windows', 'Current Version' and 'Policies'. (ie.
+[H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]
+Software
+Microsoft
+Windows
+CurrentVersion
+Policies
5) Now click on the Ratings folder.
6) In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key.
Click on it and press Delete.
7) Next, choose Registry and then Exit to exit RegEdit.

You've just deleted your original Content Advisor password.

8) Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.
9) Choose View and then Internet Options (or Options for version 3.x)
10) Click on the Content tab and if the (Enable/Disable) button still says Disable, click on it,
When asked for a password, don't enter anything; just click on OK.

This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.


However, I'm not aware of a way to permanently disable/remove the content advisor function...soryy.

BEING THAT THIS IS A "TECH FORUM FOR PROFESSIONALS" I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL YOU TO BE SURE TO BACK-UP YOUR REGISTRY IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!!!!!!!

run regedit go to>hkey_local_machine>software>microsoft>windows>current_version>polocies>ratings

delete that entry

then 'find' ratings.pol and delete it.

reboot.

GOOD LUCK!

Sounds familiar...but, ratings.pol is going to recreate, so Gert's going to find themself in a circular dilemma, until the user(s) stop putting in passwords, as these solutions permanently solves the problem.

i posted that at the same time as carrr. oops

yes it will recreate but i was giving a solution to get rid of the password all together. i just took longer to submit my post.

Didn't mean to sound accusatory...if I did, apologies.
I'm just flummoxed by the apparent inability to do away with this for good, rather than having to eliminate passwords every time an employee puts them up. Sounds...at least for now...like a classic case of the need for a sound tongue-lashing/advisory conference re: what user boundaries are on work pcs, eh?

if you have ever wondered why there is a need for "user rights" on a login..... just read a few threads on this site. ;-) lol
