Content Advisor

[rusciano]

I upgraded IE 5.5 and now my content advisor self-enables and won't disable. The MSoft site says this happens when you upgrade IE without upgrading to Windows 2000 but I don't want to upgrade - I want to stay with Windows 98 for now.

Does anyone know of a workaround or a patch?

Thanks

I am running IE 6.0 beta and I know you can disable the content advisor in IE 6.0 because I found that I could not get to a https site that I go to
So when I go there I disable the content advisor
then when i'm done enable it

here is the beta site

Thanks

This Is just my opinion
So if it stinks wait for another one
Cause I'm no expert

If the Content Advisor is continuously turning on and asking for passwords or what not, try killing the Reg Key:
Click the plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so that its contents are shown.
Click the plus sign next to Software so that its contents are shown.
Click the plus sign next to Microsoft so that its contents are shown.
Click the plus sign next to Windows so that its contents are shown.
Click the plus sign next to CurrentVersion so that its contents are shown.
Click the plus sign next to Policies so that its contents are shown.
Click the Ratings folder.
Delete the key named "Key".
This may or may not require a restart, I forget. But try it out, see what happens.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, create a new Ratings.pol file:

Quit Internet Explorer.

Check your Windows\System folder to see if a Ratings.pol file exists.

NOTE: You must be able to view hidden files to view the Ratings.pol file. To view hidden files in My Computer or Windows Explorer, click Folder Options on the View menu in My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the View tab, click Show All Files, and then click OK.

There may not be a Ratings.pol file in the Windows\System folder. If there is no Ratings.pol file, skip to step 3. If there is a Ratings.pol file, rename it to Ratings.old.


Start Internet Explorer, click Cancel to close the error message, and then click Internet Options on the Tools menu.

Click the Content tab, and then click Settings in the Content Advisor area.

Type the Supervisor password, and then click OK.

NOTE: If you do not know or have forgotten the Supervisor password, please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for assistance. For information about how to contact Microsoft Product Support Services, please visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Choose the ratings options that meet your needs, and then click OK.

When you restart Internet Explorer, the changes take effect.
