Thank you! This worked for me on my Vista system, however, the “0″ value didn’t work. It was only when I cleared out (deleted) the “1″ value and hit “ok” did it work.

I’ve been having the same problems. I used a fix I found elsewhere which worked just fine, but every time I load up IE8, back it comes! I’m running a full system scan as I write and have also had Ad-Aware have a look, but no joy. Any idea what is causing this?

I can get into everything except when I come down to policies there is nothing to open. I followed the instructions one of the other people posted but that doesn’t work either. Computer says it can’t find gpedit.msc.

My task manager shows in the thumbnail on my bar but the manager itself is waaay off the screen to the left where I can’t access it??? Please help

Thanks
