trying to disable content advisor

Question

Hi,   I couldn't do a 'save target as' and found instructions in the Dell forums for removing the password for the content advisor using Regedit.  I did that ok.    The last instruction says to go to Internet Options, click on Content tab and to click on Disable and when asked for a password, don't enter anything, just click OK.  When I do that  it says You cannot have a blank password.  So what do I put in for it to be blank?

Me again. Well I put in a password and put it in the hint too and Wrote it down! That solved my problem of not being able to do a "save target as".

I got my download by right clicking and doing a save target as. But I also should be able to click on the link and bring up the save dialog box. It still just brings up a new empty window. My desktop does it ok. It's my Inspiron 6000. I tried disabling the virus programs. I checked all the internet option settings on the laptop against my desktop pc and they are the same.

Thanks again,

Christine

A blank password would defeat the purpose of the system.  Just make sure if you have kids using this system, they run with limited accounts and not Admin, because if you found a way to defeat the password with regedit, so can they.
