fucking scumbags changed my start page and disabled my option to. - GoFuckYourself.com

Marcus · 11-03-2001, 03:40 PM

my start page is now this: http://www.seekfast.f2s.com/

and, in ie, when I hit tools, internet options I get a popup that "The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this computer" blah blah

anyone know how to override this restriction and get my reg start page back?

format c:

You gotta use regedit and search for the entry of the default startup page. Then delete it.

I think you need to delete others entries as well, not sure which ones though.

Marcus · 11-03-2001, 03:56 PM

thanks, do you know the path?

i dont see it under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or anywhere

JackFoley · 11-03-2001, 07:04 PM

I had the same thing happen to me last week! Motherfuckers. I ended up reformatting the drive because even after I fixed the problem (so I thought) my computer was still all fucked up.

Now that's just plain shitty. Not even a good page to have stuck as your start page.

Marcus, try this

In regedit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Restrictions registry key ... delete the "NoBrowserOptions" value.

I hope this works for you

Reformat. Its the only way to truely cleanz your soul.

Theo · 11-04-2001, 02:24 PM

simple format will not do anything
what you need is a low level format

This is what I did when it happened to me,
I hope it works for you,
Aussie Rebel

1. Start regedit (Start > Run > Regedit.exe)

2. Go to the following section in your register: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

3. Find the following string there and delete it: C:\windows\regedit.exe /s C:\windows\system32\radB42B9.tmp
radB42B9.tmp can be any file that shouldn't be there, it may also be located at any other directory. This section in your register HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run serves as Autostart group, so you may remove everything unnecessary from there. You may also try to find any other references in your register to the file you found in the section CurrentVersion\Run (eg. radB42B9.tmp) and delete them.

4. Change your default home page (Tools> Internet Options> Home page) to the one you desire and ENJOY!

5. If you don't want this to happen again, change your security options in Internet Explorer to promt whether to run or download any ActiveX controls and always answer NO if you are unsure.

I ended up reinstalling ie and that cleared it all up (I think) but Aussie I just did your step #5 to prevent it happening again.

Apprecite the tip
