Hello fellow Registry friends.
I have a weird problem here.
A friend of mine uses IE5. His son, who is about 8, has inadvertently put a password or something, in the Content advisor section of IE, and this actually stops him from starting IE5, even to get a simple home page of his ISP. The error message says "Content advisor has missing settings, please goto Tools, and fix them"..
However to get into tools you need to enter a password. So I tried to uninstall and re-install, however it still kept the content advisor settings. So I had it rever to IE4, in the hope that it would not carry the settins BACKWARDS.. but it did. So I uninstalled IE4, and went through the reigistry, deleting all keys that talked about IE settings of any type. And was pretty precise with that.
Then when I re-installed IE5, again, the content advisor came back, allowing no surfing at all of the web.
So I had to install Netscape to get around this, which is fine for now, but I would like to be able to install IE5 for him again, and his ISP have given him no help for 2 weeks, cause no one ever bothers to ring him back.
So.. can anyone give me some direction?
I have a general knowledge of Registry and how to manipulate it, but im no expert, and am in the begginer stage of learning all this stuff.. so.. thanks in advance friends,
Ben.
