I am hoping someone can help me with the content advisor
for Internet explorer 6 with win 98 (1st). I do not
remember putting a passward in for the content advisor and
am afraid my old roomate my have done it as a 'joke'. I
there anyway I can work around this? It just suddenly
started giving me problems after I cleared the cookies,
temp file, ran registry checker, adaware, scan disk, and
internet explorer repair tool (I run all the but the last
every week or two). I have never had a problem when doing
these tasks before, but now find myself unable to do to My
MSN page with-out the content advisor popping up and
asking for a password. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks

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.

Alternatively, see here: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm
under Content Advisor under "C" for info and specialized .vbs
scripts to turn it on and off and to modify specific settings.

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:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/CA-Reset.exe (listed on
line 283) NOTE: Using CA-Reset will completely delete your Approved
List - everything starts like brand new, so consider this before you
use it.
