The other two buttons manage the Certificates and Publishers. The Certificates section can clear the SSL state, which clears any certificate currently in use. Finally, the Advanced tab has an option to add a Ratings bureau or use PICS Rules to define what Web sites may be viewed or not. The rating system is the main control in the Content Advisor. The rating system(s) used may be added or administered from here. The Supervisor may create a password that blocks the settings and may be used to view blocked content. The General tab sets user options to either allow users to view Web sites without ratings or allow a supervisor to use a password to view the blocked content. The Approved Sites tab can add sites that will never be viewable or always be viewable no matter what the content is. For each category, the setting may be set by adjusting the slider to a setting of None, Limited, or Unrestricted. The Ratings tab has a number of categories. The Content Advisor window has four tabs to configure what content the end user may view. The Content Advisor has a button to Enable or Settings button depending if it is already enabled or not. Finally, the Feeds and Web Slices settings will configure how often they are updated. The AutoComplete settings customize what the browser can remember and suggest when using forms and other inputs that support this. The Certificates area controls SSL certificates and various options related to this. These are controls within IE 8 and a third-party application may be more effective. Instead, the Content Advisor may be used to filter and act as a parental control. Web Filtering is an additional feature that must be installed to control Web browsing. These settings are referenced earlier in this chapter. The Parental Controls section has a button that will open the Parental Controls from the Control Panel. The Content tab of Internet options has different sections for a variety of content-related settings including Parental Controls, Content Advisor, Certificates, AutoComplete, and Feeds and Web Slices. Jorge Orchilles, in Microsoft Windows 7 Administrator's Reference, 2010 Content Tab Resetting IE 8 to the default settings will be very helpful to the administrator when troubleshooting Web browsing related problems. Most malware on Windows 7 will likely be downloaded via IE 8, and will attempt to change these settings. These two buttons must be pressed after removing malware from a Windows 7 machine. There is also a Delete personal settings check box before doing the full reset. The other Reset button will reset all IE 8 settings including: toolbars, add-ons, browser settings, privacy, settings, security settings, tabbed browsing settings, advanced options, and pop-up settings. The Restore advanced settings button will reset the settings above it to the default value when IE 8 was first initiated. Additionally, there are two very important buttons: the Restore advanced settings and Reset buttons. These settings generally do not need to be changed unless a business critical application requires it. The Settings section has a number of check boxes related to accessibility, browsing, international, multimedia, printing, search, and security settings. The Advanced tab in Internet Options is the most complex Internet Options tab ( Figure 4.54). You can delete your history, form data, and temporary files. The Browsing History section allows you to view temporary internet files, cookies, and downloaded program files. The Delete browsing history and cookies option brings up the General tab of the Internet Properties window. Here, you can configure toolbars, search providers, accelerators, and InPrivate Filtering. You can use the Manage add-ons option to launch the Manage Add-ons window. The Manage browser add-ons option brings up the Programs tab of the Internet Properties window. You can use the current page, the default, a blank page, or type in a page. Here, you can configure the home page for Internet Explorer. The Change your homepage option brings up the General tab of the Internet Properties window. You can control add-ons, Active-X controls, and other components. You can configure security settings and access settings. The Internet Options section of Control Panel allows you to manage Internet and Internet Explorer settings for your computer.
