| | No TrackBacks

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security feature can become a nuisance and may be effectively unnecessary under certain circumstance.

The master switches for IEES are stored in the Windows registry. The steps mentioned below must be followed to disable it. Note that any registry modification can result in irreparable damage to your system. You can either make the changes manually, or run a script using Group Policy, to affect a number of computers in your network.

The steps are:

1) Change the following to zero (value 0):

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components{A509B1A7-37EF-4b3f-8CFC-4F3A74704073}

Key name: InInstalled, set it to 0.

2) Issue the next commands from command prompt. Administrator privileges required.

Rundll32 iesetup.dll, IEHardenLMSettings

Rundll32 iesetup.dll, IEHardenAdmin

3) Delete the following:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components{A509B1A7-37EF-4b3f-8CFC-4F3A74704073}

All of this can be done either manually or by using a script.
