| Alan,
Disregard this. I was able to make it work. I must not have had the
category selected when I tried the F8 key.

Alan,
My Advanced settings seem to work fine. One final question.
Along the same lines of only trying to change one IE setting, I have
been trying to set a trusted site under Preferences but that is grayed
out. I found where I can do it as a Policy>Internet Explorer
Maintenance>Security, but it appears to import all my "Security"
settings not just the trusted site I want to add.
Am I still missing something?

Hi Jack,
It's hard to find... I always do a search for "Green". It always struck
me as a weird way to enable or disable a setting. I know no other
software that requires you to use Function keys. You should be able to
right click on the item and enable/disable it.

Ahhh, excellent. Thanks for the clarification. Can I ask, where did
you look in the Help to find this?
Jack

Hi Jack,
Yes, it will. All of the settings that have the green ring will appear
on the PC exactly as indicated (checked or unchecked). If you select one
of the settings say "Allow active content to run in files......" and
hit F7, the green circle will turn to red and then the user's machine
will no longer change for this setting.
If you want only one setting to be applied, hit F8 (all green circles
will go red), select the setting you want and hit F6 (it's circle will
go green), then set the value for that setting to whatever you want
(checked or unchecked)

Alan,
My concern (which I am having trouble describing) is that when I select
say "Allow active content to run in files......" , and uncheck it, will
the GPO also enable "Check for publisher's certificate...." , even if
the user has it unchecked? Does it set all the preferences as shown
under Advanced, or only the one I modified?

Hi jack,
You can enable individual items. It is rather cryptic, but if you look
in HELP you will find the following:-
In addition to enabling and disabling preference items within a Group
Policy object (GPO), you can individually enable and disable underlined
settings or settings preceded by a circle within a preference item.
The underlining or circle of the setting indicates whether it is
currently enabled or disabled:
A setting with a solid green underline or a green circle is enabled. The
preference extension applies this setting's value to the user or
computer.
A setting with a dashed red underline or red circle with a slash is
disabled. The preference extension does not apply this setting's value
to the user or computer.
You can enable or disable these settings within a preference item by
pressing function keys:
F5
Enable all settings on the current tab.
F6
Enable the currently selected setting.
F7
Disable the currently selected setting.
F8
Disable all settings on the current tab.

As an update to this I found under the Help in USER CONFIGURATION >
PREFERENCES>CONTROL PANEL SETTINGS>INTERNET SETTINGS, on how to
configure an IE7 item........
"Internet Explorer preference items do not provide a selection of
actions because the only possible action us Update."
When I pull up the "Advanced" tab and it lists the dozens of settings
(some are checked and some are unchecked), does this mean that the only
ones I modify will be updated, and the rest will remain untouched, or
will the GPO update all the settings listed to what is shown in the
window?

Subject: [gptalk] Trouble Changing IE Settings
I want to use a GPO to change four settings in IE, but I don't want to
alter any existing IE browser settings our users may have configured.
My one test seemed to have changed existing user settings causing an
uproar.
I would like to set the IE Advanced setting for both HTTP 1.1 settings.
I would like to set the "Do not save encrypted pages to disk".
I would like to set a trusted site.
Is this possible without setting any other existing settings a user may
have set?
Can these be done as a preference so the user could change it if
necessary?
Due to the number of GPO IE possibilities, I have scared myself into
total paralysis.
Thanks,
Jack
