I want to turn content advisor on but went to settings and it asked me for a
password, so didn't want to enable content advisor until I had one...in case
Icouldn't turn it off! I must have set one in the past but now I can't
remember it? I googled the problem and found the advice below. I did as it
said but then couldn't find ratings.pol (must be pre-XP advice?). I've since
rebooted and now the settings buttton for content advisor is greed out.
Hopeless!
"Answer:
To do this, click start, run, type in REGEDIT, click ok, this opens registry
editor. Click + in front of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, + in front of SOFTWARE, + in
front of Microsoft, + in front of Windows, + in front of Current Version, +
in front of Policies, Click Ratings, look to right, Click line below Default,
press delete, enter. Leave default line only in right pane. Close registry
editor. Next click start, find, files and folders, type "ratings.pol" in top
line, C: in bottom, find now. When this file is found, delete it. This will
remove password set, and leave content advisor fully operable. Next time,
chose a password you can remember."
What shold I do next please?
