jipman 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 It's a commonly used trick in public libraries and some internet cafe's to prevent people from exploiting the payment-systems and use the internet for free. Also, it's very nice sometimes to prevent not-so-adept-users from fiddling with the settings and screw the settings/program/computer up.You are right though, on normal home/desktop computers it's not really usefull and quite a hindrance too.Although usually it is still easily avoided (if I remember correctly I once wrote a tutorial for that ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vizskywalker 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) If you don't have Internet Explorer under the Policies Key, simply create a new Key and call it Internet Explorer and make the Control Panel tab under that.~Viz Edited August 15, 2005 by vizskywalker (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted April 26, 2009 can you tell me how to get java back into the internet options advanced tabHow To Remove Internet Options Featuresmy os is windows home premium windows vista. the problem started when I updated java to 6u13. It said it downloaded successfully. I use aol as an internet provider. The java worked fine before. I contacted hp because the comp was not quite a year old. It was decided to restore comp to new and start all over. We did that and then updated windows. Then we were told to redownload java. We did that and it still did not work. Then uninstalled the 6u13 and installed 6u12 to see it would work it didn;t. Then went to control panel to internet options advanced tab to check the java and it wasn't there. Went to tools on ie and tried to go to the java console and it wouldn't go to it. Called hp back spent 7 hours with tech support. They told me to go to start and type in java , it came up no items found. went to the control panel and the java icon was there checked it and it said I had 6u13 and it was enabled and 6.1 standard edition also enabled. Went to add and remove programs and they were also there, but I could not find the java in the internet options advanced tab to enable it. Hp took me to the security tab and had me enable some things said to uninstall java and redownload it again. I did that and it said it downloaded successfully. Went back to check and see if it was running correctly and it said it was. When you try to use the java like pogo it will not open. hp helped me this far and then told me if I wanted any more help I would have to purchase another warrenty because it ran out 2 days ago. We had been working on this problem for over 2 weeks. They also stated that the java console did not come with the comp but it did because when we redid the comp it was on there and in the programs. I know this is long but I was trying to give as much info as possable. If I am not at the right place could you please direct me to someone who can help? java.Com will not help because it is a free version. One last thing I know that java was in the internet options and in the java console because java.Com told me to go there to troubleshoot after hp told me to do things it disappeared. Also shouldn't the registry be cleaned out from those times I uninstalled and reinstalled those java's. I would appreciate some help this is so frustrateing. If you can't help me could you please direct me to someone I can explain everything I've done so far and type it in. Thank you for your time. Hope to here from you.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Does this still apply now?How To Remove Internet Options Features Does this trick still apply with Internet Explorer 7 and 8, and in Windows Vista or Windows 7? I'm trying to find information on how to restore the tabs in IE's Internet Options, and want to make sure that this would still work in the latest versions. Also, is it safe to assume that if malware hid these tabs, you could safely delete the entire Internet ExplorerControl panel key? Have a great weekend:) patrick.
