RabbieBurns Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 The way our profiles are at the moment, each user gets a local profile created when they log into a machine. Apart from it being slow, it also means that when they first run IE they get all the phishing filter and homepage/searchpage settings questions etc every time. Is there a way to disable these things in IE7 and just get it to go straight to the homepage as set in gpo?

sharkster Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 you could just change the ntuser.man to .dat change the settings in ie7 log and then change it back to .man file
RabbieBurns Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 Download details: ADM files for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows thar you go. thanks
Michael Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 When you've installed the IE7 ADM, the policy you're looking for is: Prevent performance of First Run Customise settings - Enabled - Go directly to homepage 2
RabbieBurns Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 Ive ran the msi but cant see where it would have put the adm for me to add?
RabbieBurns Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 never mind - found it in program files. Installed and enabled. Thanks all
mant01 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I have made the changes to the policy as suggested but still get the FIX MY SETTINGS message, is it possible to stop that happening via GPO? Cheers Tony
RabbieBurns Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 I keep getting the enable phishing filter on first use as well, even though the other stuff has stopped appearing...
gshaw Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I keep getting the enable phishing filter on first use as well, even though the other stuff has stopped appearing... There's a setting in the GPO for that as well. Think it's called Configure Phishing Filter iirc 1
RabbieBurns Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 I have made the changes to the policy as suggested but still get the FIX MY SETTINGS message, is it possible to stop that happening via GPO? Cheers Tony Is this what you want? This policy setting prevents users from performing the "Fix settings" functionality related to Security Settings Check. If you enable this policy setting, users cannot use the "Fix settings" functionality. If you disable this policy setting, users can use the "Fix settings" functionality. If you do not configure this policy setting, users will be able to use the "Fix settings" functionality. Note: When this policy setting is enabled, the "Fix settings" option in the Information bar shortcut menu should be disabled. Its Called "Prevent Fix Settings Functionality

All I want is for pupils to log in and just get their home page without any fancy messages or temporary homepages... Cheers Tony
laserblazer Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Found it. Thanks! Blowed if I can! What's it called?
RabbieBurns Posted November 14, 2009 Author Posted November 14, 2009 Blowed if I can! What's it called? Have you installed the extra ie7 adm thing? It appears in gp once you do that
