Frank, I wanted to know whether or not you applied any restrictions yourself, since
Regedit was disabled. On a multiple user system, many times a parent or whoever will
apply restrictions themselves.
That's the reason I didn't include these items and asked you what I did. I've never
seen DisableRegedit in a log before. As for this item 06, I intentionally have that
set that way to lock my homepage, so we usually ask first. I had every intention
to get back to you about it. Have both these entries fixed, if you haven't already.
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1
Additionally, any and all DPF (Downloaded Program files = ActiveX Controls can be
safely removed. They'll be downloaded again as needed. An example is Shockwave Flash.
It's recommended to clear those out occassionally, and some you may never use again.
The other poster should have stayed out, and I'd think it would be obvious, that
I know what I'm doing!! Nothing I've advised you to do, is going to cause problems.
In fact, check out this post for more info. on what you can do that will be very
beneficial. (Note: I had you removed Taskmon in the Hijack This reply. That one is
done.)
Jack Gulley's is a VERY knowledgeable regular on this forum. His advice is, "Remove
PCHealth and TuneUp from Scheduled tasks, and PCHealth and TaskMonitor from Startup
tab in MSCONFIG." There's other good advice in this post.
