IE8 Problem

[ricki]

HI

 

I have just upgraded to IE8 in school and I have a problem. The students are getting a message when going to the google site that says

 

A program has attempted to change the default search provider and is you click ok it brings up a screen manage your add ons.

 

Has anyone got an ideas which policy I have to change to stop this.

 

Thanks for all your help.

Use the IE8 group policy (inetres from an IE8 machine) to prevent it: User - Administrative Templates - Windows Components/Internet Explorer - Prevent performance of First Run Customize settings

I've seen this, and IIRC it is to do with removing the search bar part of IE8.

 

Not 100% sure on this, give it a try and see.

One thread on MS sites has a fix here - could try it. We removed IE8 because of another problem (with winlogon.exe causing bsod) - still haven't found either a cause or a fix for that one.

Thanks for the link but they links in the page do not work.

HI

 

Does anyone have an adm to import into gpo in server 2008 that will allow me to set the search provider in group policy. I have looked at the notes on how to do it but cannot make head nor tail of it.

 

Thanks
