Microsoft's Internet Protection

**DumberDrummer** · 11-05-2003, 11:46 AM

Alright, now that my modem's working, I can't do hardly anything. I put on the microsoft internet protector that comes with Win98, but I did it long before my modem worked, and now I can't remember my password.

Yeah, that's the one. IE content advisor. Johnwill, the link is extremely vauge as to the instructions, could you help me out?

Looks pretty simple. Open Start/Run/[b]regedit[/i].

Navigate to the key: HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\Current
Version\Policies\Ratings

In the right panel you will see a field with the name key.

Place the cursor on that name and left click. Hit the DEL key and say yes. Exit regedit.
