OT - Security Question
on: December 31, 2001, 04:47:00 am
I have a friend who was experimenting with IE's Content Advisor, trying to see how effective it was at blocking certain sites. He wrote down the password on a slip of paper, which (apparently) got thrown away when he was cleaning up. The problem with this is that he put the settings at such a restrictive level that he can't even access Hotmail (considering the kind of spam that swamps people there, maybe it's for the best...).

Does anyone know of a way, besides formatting, to retrieve or remove the password?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

Perhaps it's in the registry - a lot of stuff is in there, this might be one of them...

My parents had this problem once before. I ended up having to reinstall Windows. Every reinstallation of IE picked up the old settings. I searched all the registry keys I could, deleting Content Advisor related ones. Nothing worked.

I recommend avoiding that Content Advisor 'feature' at all costs.

i beleive those IE settings are in a hidden-hidden directory (not just the -h attrib tag)

The only way you can wipe it off practically is a reinstallation of windows  

You could try searching the M$ knowledge base or a tech bb though.

Hey! Netscape 6.1 and 6.2 are quite good... If they were only able to be used as the rendering engine for other programs, like IE is...
