XP SP2 registry settings

K

- Karl

Is there any documentation on how to change the security settings / new IE
options via the registry? We are on NT4 domain, so AD GPO is not an option
:(

Thanks!

Hi

The documents here lists some of them:

"Changes to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2"
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d7-b791-40b6-8364-685b84158c78&DisplayLang=en

Note: WinXPSP2_Documentation.zip contains all the .doc downloads...


If you can't find the relevant registry settings for an option:

In this type of situations, I use a program that takes a snapshot of
the system before and after a configuration change and then presents
a difference report I can investigate.


Some free programs that should be able to help you monitor
configuration changes:

Search for InCtrl5 here (does not report changes in binary
registry values):

Total Uninstall - track and undo system changes
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/totaluninstall.html

InstallSpy

You also have Regmon and Filemon from Sysinternals that does a
realtime logging of registry and file access, but they will not
give you a difference report, so they are more for other types
of problems/investigations.
