Hello everyone. I just got a new laptop running Vista Home Premium x64, and it's my first experience with both Vista and an x64 OS.
I've changed the security settings in IE7 to a custom level, and now I get the notification bar saying "Your current security settings put your computer at risk. etc." I know this can be disabled via gpedit.mcs but of course Vista Home doesn't include that feature. So, a couple questions.
Nobody here seems to know much about getting GPedit to work in Vista Home, so I won't even touch that. However, I did see mention of the Microsoft speadsheet that lists all the various group policy settings and their corresponding registry entries. I found the "Disable Security Settings Check Feature" entry, but now I'm not sure what to do with it.
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security!DisableSecuritySettingsCheck
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security!DisableSecuritySettingsCheck
I can navigate to the Microsoft folder in regedit, but that's where the trail ends. Do I need to create a key or something? I don't have much experience with the registry, and I really want this notification bar gone. Help please?
cheers everyone!
Mousetopher your a GENIUS!!!!
You answered the question and didn't even know it.
The registry string you posted is it. BUT,, you have to creat a new "DWORD" that is called "DisableSecuritySettingsCheck" then set the value-1
BANG WAM!!!
Problem solved, y information bar is TOAST for good. So here is the run down thanks to mousetopher;
Follow this string: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security
Right click on security and select Creat new DWORD;
Type DisableSecuritySettingsCheck
Now Change the value to equal 1 instead of 0
Problem gone. I have investigated this for 2 hours now and no luck but mousetophers post of a script line gave it away, the STRING does not exist, You have o creat it, then set it to active witch is denoted by a value of 1
Oh yes do for this string also even though I didn't have to, just to be sure.
"HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security"
I am going to post this on a separate thread but will give credits to mousetopher if you guys don't mind. Seriosly this is the only fix out on the net for this. :D
