Internet Explorer disabled or blocked at the office? Bypass restrictions
Posted on May 8, 2008 - Filed Under Computer Tips | 7 Comments
Is Internet Explorer disabled by an Administrator? Depending on the corporation you work for, your level of Internet access can vary from completely blocked to full access. One common restriction that many corporations place on computers is disabling Internet Explorer.
This basically prevents you from opening Internet Explorer at all and just gives you a message that it has been disabled by an Administrator. On top of that, if you try to install a different browser, such as Firefox, Safari, etc, you might not have install privileges.

The last time I right-clicked on a file, I was annoyed by the fact that it took 2 full seconds to load the menu. Why? Well because I had installed so many different applications on my computer that a couple of them added themselves to my right click context menu automatically!
Some program ask you if you want to option and others do not. Now granted, I probably said yes a couple of times, thinking how useful it would be to have that in my right-click menu, but there are still some I don’t even use!
