What seems to be the problem? Does the Fixlet not run properly? Does it not change some of the settings?

For Win 2000, i want to hide the rest of the tab from Internet options and only except “general tab”.

I’m guessing the regset works, but removing the “control panel” key from the HKCU branch does not?

(imported comment written by SystemAdmin)

Yes, but for Win 2000 only work in HKCU. Do you have any method to hide the rest of the tab from Internet options and only except “general tab” for win2000? Any idea about that ?

Thank you…

Hi,

It seems like the BigFix agent is executing the action properly but I am not sure why these registry changes don’t work on Windows 2000. Does it work if you change the registry manually outside of BigFix?

This expression would fail if there was no user logged in… Is there a user logged into the local computer console of the computer you tested on?
