ComputersRe: How To Disable Microsoft Internet Explorer by Ralvy(m): 6:07pm On Aug 23, 2007
hey, hey hey, Now a Correction!

The method I explain above can disable windows update on some Operating Systems, now
poster; To retain windows Update, do this;

This will allow you to disable Internet Explorer for general browsing, but still have it work for WindowsUpdate.

First open IE, and open the options screen by clicking on 'Tools' at the top of the screen and clicking on 'Options'.,

Click the 'Connections' tab at the top of the new options window that has appeared.

Click the 'LAN Settings' button that is towards the bottom of the options window.

Check the box that says 'Use a proxy server for your LAN'.

In the 'Address' field, enter anything - I put 'fakeproxy'.

Click the 'Advanced' button, then in the 'exceptions' text box enter '*.microsoft.com' and then click OK.

Now IE will only function on pages at Microsoft.com, and WindowsUpdate.

If u xperience prblms,which I doubt u shuld - shoot me a mail = nerve.it@gmail.com
I will be coming up with something similar to this on my blog, watch out wink cheesy

ComputersRe: How To Disable Microsoft Internet Explorer by Ralvy(m): 5:58pm On Aug 23, 2007
I can imagine what u are goin through,

Anyway, here's what to do - there's a more simpler method but I am using this because you still want to retain File and Printer sharing.

Open up Notepad
Cut and paste the following into the empty Notepad window:


Code:

@echo off
C:
cd "\Program Files\Internet Explorer"
if not exist IEXPLORE.EXE goto End
if exist IEXPLORE.EX_ del IEXPLORE.EX_
if not exist IEXPLORE.DIR md IEXPLORE.DIR
if not exist IEXPLORE.DIR goto End
attrib -r -h -s IEXPLORE.EXE
ren IEXPLORE.EXE IEXPLORE.EX_
if exist IEXPLORE.EXE goto End
ren IEXPLORE.DIR IEXPLORE.EXE
echo IE disabled.
echo If prompted, click "Cancel" then "Yes" on File Protection restore.
echo Run enable-ie.bat to allow IE to run again.
:End


The above code assumes your Windows XP is installed to your C:\ drive. If it
isn't, change the C: beneath @echo off to the drive letter corresponding to
whichever HDD or drive partition that you have Windows XP installed to

Now save text file this as "disable-ie.bat" to your desktop, or elsewhere.
Double click on the saved "disable-ie.bat" file.

("Windows File Protection" will most likely kick in at this point, with a warning dialog
box, saying some system files have been replaced with unrecognised versions, and
to insert your Windows XP CD to restore them. Don't worry, it's safe to ignore this.)

Now, everytime you try to open IE, all you'll get is an empty IE window. You need not
even reboot your PC for these changes to take effect. The effects are instantaneous.

If at any time, you decide you want to re-enable IE, follow these instructions to create
another batch file that reverses the changes made by the aforementioned batch file:

Code:

@echo off
C:
cd "\Program Files\Internet Explorer"
if not exist IEXPLORE.EX_ goto End
if not exist IEXPLORE.EXE goto Activate
attrib -r -h -s IEXPLORE.EXE
rd IEXPLORE.EXE
if exist IEXPLORE.EXE del IEXPLORE.EXE
:Activate
ren IEXPLORE.EX_ IEXPLORE.EXE
echo IE enabled.
:End



Save this as "enable-ie.bat" and put it in the same place as "disable-ie.bat"

As before, this assumes you have Windows XP installed on your C:\ drive. Again, if your
copy of Windows XP is not on the C:\ drive, make the same changes I explained earlier.

wink

I heard you got a brain transplant and the brain rejected you!

I think you should live for the moment. But after that, I doubt I'll think so.

Man alive! But I wish you weren't.

I believe in respect for the dead; in fact, I could only respect you if you WERE dead.

Is your name Maple Syrup? It should be, you sap.

You spent so much time trying to get rid of that halitosis that you had only to find out that you are not popular anyway.

You are the kind of person who, when one first meets you, one doesn't like you. But when one gets to know you better, one hates you.

We know that romance brings out the beast in you -- the jackass.

ComputersRe: Help Needed, My Cd Rom Drive Can't Be Located On My Pc by Ralvy(m): 7:02pm On Aug 21, 2007
Hey, Y such advices, @poster; That system dos'nt need tu be formatted at all,
It's a simple virus u have man,

I will compile a guide in pdf. format and upload tomorrow. Try to access the task manager and the registry editor, also see if the folder option menu is present. If all are disabled, it's surely a virus,

All the same, running a virus scan with a good antivirus software, and using a registry cleaner, wiill restore the system to normal. This will surely work, if it dosnt - let me know and I'll upload the guide wink cheesy

Concerning the "Help and Support"

Type "services.msc (without quotes) in the run box from the start menu and enable the service.
