Microsoft Internet Explorer

[J. Roger]

Somehow, Explorer got messed up. When I go into Explorer and try to
get a page to come up, it brings up a window with "content advisor" at
the top and to make any changes I need a "supervisor password".

I key in the password I always use to boot up and it responds that the
password in not valid.

I normally use netscape and it works fine. Explorer is the only one
messed up.

Under Tools... Internet Options... Content tab is where you enable/disable IE 6's content advisor. The password here is separate
from your login password.

BINGO... we're getting closer
At the registry setting you mentioned, it says (value not set).
Beneith it there are 3 items in a subdirectory. Afraid to delete
anything yet.

Do I delete the ....\Policies\ratings item anyway?
Isn't there a way to copy the registry first incase of a problem?
I was able to get into the registry but it really spooks me

right-click the key in the registry and choose export. Or just right-click...rename the key to some other name, which will keep it
there unnoticed while you test the fix.
