   Internet Explorer 5 stopped showing pictures?!?!
  I am currently on my aunts PC, which is kinda borked. IE stopped display pictures. It only shows the placeholders with the red x. When I click r mouse on the pic and select View image, the image appears. I checked the settings, and it show that pictures displaying is enabled. And a second problem I ran into, is that internet restrictions got activated. I need a password, which I obviously don''t have, and neither do my aunt and uncle. I know there is a work around it, by deleting some keys for the registry, but I can''t find the right ones, so I am looking for some help here.Toolmaker   -Earth is 98% full. Please delete anybody you can. 
  Introduce them to Mozilla. ;  Mozilla isn''t an really an option. So I am looking want to fix the problem, rather then give them a quick hack around it. Toolmaker   -Earth is 98% full. Please delete anybody you can. ;  Would you people stop suggesting Mozilla, it''s driving me insane. I prefer Internet Explorer over Mozilla myself. There, I said it. Go flame me.Toolmaker, have you checked the security and privacy tabs? ;quote:Original post by Raloth  Would you people stop suggesting Mozilla, it''s driving me insane.Use Mozilla. It has lots of insanity reducing features.  ;quote:Original post by Raloth  Would you people stop suggesting Mozilla, it''s driving me insane. I prefer Internet Explorer over Mozilla myself.

Why would someone prefer IE over mozilla?Do you know what a HUGE security risk using IE is? ;  Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced Tab -> Show Pictures   ;quote:Original post by Boops  Do you know what a HUGE security risk using IE is?Little to nothing, depending on the user..Just like mozilla..   Don''t Temp Fate.. ;quote:Original post by Boops   Why would someone prefer IE over mozilla?Do you know what a HUGE security risk using IE is?   Go read Mozilla's security page listing exploits they've admitted exist in Mozilla. Then remember that the exploit page only covers ones that are fixed and are at least 2 major versions old. Mozilla's &#106avascript engine is the worst security nightmare known to man and has been since day one (even the latest version to have bug admitted[1.4], has multiple arbitrary code execution exploits). While "Disable &#106avascript" is probably the most common workaround given by the Mozilla team to avoid arbitary code execution, some more interesting ones have included "turn off images" to prevent someone from taking over your computer completely.If you don't believe me, please make sure you are using the latest version of Mozilla (1.6) and go here (Note: !!!Bookmark all open windows before clicking!!!)EDIT: Change link to point to freeweb server without popup (for the 3 AOL users who haven't installed a popup blocker or use hosts)   [edited by - michalson on February 3, 2004 7:04:22 PM];quote:Original post by Michalson   Go read Mozilla's security page listing exploits they've admitted exist in Mozilla.

Sure, but with IE I've had sites that install and run exes automaticly (years ago), I've had my homepage being changed constantly by &#106avascripts in popups, I've had IE's search page and the error pages seen changed, and I've seen a jpg image that opened my CDROM drive, etc...I've never seen such things in mozilla.If mozilla has a security flaw, it's much less dangerous than an IE flaw, since less people use mozilla so popupmakers and exploit abusers won't really care about those.
