IE 6 sp2 - restrictions
I have set up my log in as the 'computer administrator' with another log in
as 'limited'. When I try to asccess 'Internet Options' from IE6 I get a 'Restrictions' message saying that I do not have sufficient authroority to access and change details. However, when in the other log in I am allowed to access inetrnet options. In addition my default page is 'greyed' out as google.co.uk; whiol;st this is not a problem I would like the access to change if I need to. I have contacted the supplier of the PC but all they can say is that I must have a virus; I have checked and do not have a virus, as far as the software can see, or that I should instal a new log in name and delete the old!!. How can I remove this restriction frokm my 'computer administration' account. |

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the fix, your a star. However, how can I get authority over my home page selection in IE options?

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Control = Panel Look in the right pane for a value called HomePage. If it exists, it = should be set to 0 (zero). If not, double click it and set it to 0. If = the value doesn't exist, it shouldn't matter, but it doesn't hurt to = create a new DWord value, naming it HomePage and leaving it set at 0. --=20 Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart = Display\Security Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
