Hello,
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
I recently activated content advisor in Windows 2000 and
it was working well. It has stopped working at all, what I
have noticed that is that on my list of approved sites I
always find a site with no name and only a green check in
the left hand side of the box. I delete this site and hit
apply but as soon as I close out the Internet Options
Control are the file comes back again. How did this get
there and how do I delete it. I'm sure it tis the source
of my problem. Thanks,
Scott
 
Hi Scott - I would do the restore_to_initial_condiitons approach. See
below:

Content Advisor - Go here:
http://www.pchell.com/support/contentadvisor.shtml and do what it says
and/or see here to disable it completely or toggle it:
http://osiris.978.org/~brianr/nopics-ie/

Here's the basic procedure, but refer to the link above if you need more
detail: Go to Start|Run and then enter "regedit" (without the quotes). and
then navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings

Select the "Key" entry in the right-hand pane and
Delete it. Now go to Registry|Exit to close Regedit.

Now you'll be able to disable Content Advisor by opening IE6 and going to
Tools|Internet Options|Content. Click on "Disable". Then click on "OK" when
you're asked for a password - don't enter anything. OK out and CA is
disabled.

If you wish to restore Content Advisor to its original condition (because of
your kids) you can obtain a Microsoft program (CA-Reset.exe - 89.5K) to do
this here:

NOTE: Using CA-Reset will completely delete your Approved List - everything
starts like brand new, so consider this before you use it.
