| 218214 | 2004-02-25 23:21:00 | Greetings, We've had a lot of sites that Customers visit recently that are changing the Homepage to something else that we specifically dont want. Not to mention it brings a flood of popups each time the user opens up IE (Not if they use Firefox - But so far its not default). Im not sure if its intentional, in fact I highly Doubt it is. Still, the advertising is not quite what we are after. How do I lock down IE 6 on PC's with varying OS's (Win98 on one, Win2K Pro one two, and WinXP on the rest)? Im also looking to put a few more restrictions on the users, but that can come at a later date. Cheers Chill. |

| 218217 | 2004-02-25 23:53:00 | Well that's funny coz it is in Ver 1.2. Bit iffy if you have to back a version. Have another look. | mark c (247) | ||
| 218218 | 2004-02-25 23:58:00 | So it is... I just installed 1.2, and its there under Recommended Misc. Protections. 1.3 doesnt appear to have that (Not since Beta 4 at least :-(). I'll have a go reverting back to 1.2 on all PC's and then putting the latest Beta back on (Its well worth grabbing Beta6, its brilliant :-)). Cheers Chill. |

| 218219 | 2004-02-26 00:08:00 | Actually put you a bit wrong there. In 1.2 it's choose the 'advanced' section then it's Tools/Browser Pages. :8} | mark c (247) | ||
| 218220 | 2004-02-26 00:08:00 | Well.. I found it :p I went "Hunting" for it in 1.3 Beta 6 (Translates to looking in the right place ;-)) and found it. Its in Advanced Mode under Tools -->> IE Tweaks. Why didnt I think of that before ;-) Thanks Mark Chill. |
