Having fun with IE's Content Advisor
So, you are minding your own business one day and suddenly IE won't let you into a site. That sucks.
Supposing for some strange reason you couldn't use the more secure Netscape Navigator, which doesn't have this problem, here is how to get rid of IE's content
advisor.
To turn it off, copy this into a text file called "disable IE content advisor.reg" or something similar as long as it has the ".reg" after it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings\.Default]
;Uncomment Below to allow unrated websites
;"Allow_Unknowns"=dword:00000001
;Uncomment to allow password override
;"PleaseMom"=dword:00000001
;Kinda obvious they want this as some kind of censorware for kids, eh?
;Here's the meat
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
Stop IE and run the file. Yes you want to merge the file with the
registry.
Change the "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" to "REGEDIT4" for
Win9x.
Why stop there?
You can modify the RSACi Settings to allow anything, as well :-)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings\.Default\http://www.rsac.org/ratingsv01.html]
"n"=dword:00000004
"s"=dword:00000004
"v"=dword:00000004
"l"=dword:00000004
Screw Security, damnit!
Even worse, you can also remove the password via the registry! If asked
for a password, just hit Ok and it will work anyways :-)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings]
"key"=hex:
Pretty simple, huh? :-)
