Content Advisor password problem

[Jack Coughlan]

Unable to open IE on BOTH home computers
due to apparent lack of a CONTENT ADVISOR
password.
Contacted Microsoft who said go to public
library to retieve a CA-reset.EXE file they'd
send me.
However, when I tried to download this file
to obtain a cont. advis. password, received
the following message:

A:\CA-reset.EXE could not be saved
because you cannot change the con-
tents of that folder. Change folder
properties, and try again, or try
saving in a different location.

Sorry, now I don't know exactly what I should
do. (??) Am now at a library location. The only
choice I had was to save this file by down-
loading it, which was UNSUCCESSFUL. Am desper-
ate to clear up this problem. Thanx for your
help.

Hi Jack - Content Advisor - See below at *********** for CA-Reset - For a
password issue, 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.
