How to Disable Internet Explorer Enterprise mode in IE - user-interface

I want to disable the site , that is loading in Enterprise mode .
I have checked the Register key settings and Group policy object ,
Under Register:
{HKLM|HKCU}\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer} the Main is not exists
and under GPO the Enterprise mode option is not available.
In both the place it is not configured. Any suggestions?.
Thank you in advance.

It's possible, although unlikely, that the EnterpriseMode registry key is in {HKLM|HKCU}\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer (notice it's not in the Policy node).
Another possibility is that you have locally set the site to use Enterprise Mode. This is done by going to "Tools" -> "Enterprise Mode".

You can do this with the help of the Registry editor.
Open a regedit.exe from "Run" and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode.
You will find keys against the Enterprise mode in the right hand side panel, such as DEFAULT, ENABLE and SITELIST.
You will need to DELETE the keys called ENABLE and SITELIST.
Run your application again on IE and test. You must have the result.
NOTE: This solution could be temporary as the registry adds those keys back after a system restart!

How to disable "file risk warning prompt" in windows 7?

I'm trying to edit a document from an alfresco repository using MS word via the AOS module. Unfortunately I get a warning prompt about this all the time.
The message in the prompt reads to this effect:
Some files can harm the computer. If the file information below looks
suspicious or if you do not fully trust the source, then do not open
the file.
I have so far used inetcpl to configure the trusted sites for the intranet zones and added the domains to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains
following the instructions from this site and some others (which all practically allude to the same thing) but so far I have had zero success in disabling the thing.
OS: windows 7
EDCM: Alfresco 5.2 with AOS
Browser: Internet Explorer 11
Your error message is not in English language, So it is difficult for us to understand which actual error you are getting.
If you are trying to open file via IE and getting security warning for opening a file then you can refer steps below to stop it.
(1) Open Internet Explorer.
(2) Go to Tools.
(3) Click on Internet Options.
(4) Select Security tab.
(5) Click button named as 'Custom level'.
(6) Find an option called 'Launching applications and unsafe files(not secure)'.
(7) Enable it.
(8) Restart the Internet Explorer.
Note: It is not recommended to enable this option for a security reason. You can try to make a test with it to check whether it can solve your issue or not.

VS Express 2013 for Web - Browser is security restricted or JavaScript is disabled

I initially installed the Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web on my desktop. My desktop runs Windows 8.1 with internet explorer 11. It ran fine until the license expired after the first 30 days. I tried to sign in to renew the license, however after clicking the 'sign in' button I get an error dialog. The dialog states 'Browser is security restricted or javaScript is disabled. I have no other option but to close and exit Visual Studio.
I went to the online forums for Microsoft. There were discussions and suggestions on how to fix the error. I tried lowering the settings for the security tab in internet explorer. I have validated the option for scripting is enabled. I have also added https://*.visualstudio.com to the trusted sites tab. Other users on the forum have tried the same suggestions and have not succeeded in signing into the visual studio application.
I had exactly the same problem, here is what I did:
a) Go in IE, click on settings wheel then Internet Options and Security tab.
b) Click on Custom level button (make sure you select Internet zone).
c) In Security Settings window, under Scripting I set Enabled for Active scripting.
After that Sign In should work. Even though Chrome is default browser, it seems that VS uses IE for sign in process.
Hope this helps!
There is another issue people are running into that is a bug with the login dialog. The login dialog is using a Web Browser control to login the user. By default it loads up "about:blank" as the URI. It then proceeds to try to execute some JavaScript (just ";") to verify it has permissions to do so. On some machines this is problematic because "about:blank" has been mapped to zone 0, or the Local Machine zone. When the JavaScript is executed MSHTML will check the zone of the URI and then the policy for executing scripts. By default the Local Machine zone is locked down, and all script executions result in a Query policy. What this means is if you're running in immersion mode (aka in Internet Explorer) you will get a message box asking if you want to execute the script. However, the Web Browser control used by VS 2013's "Sign In" dialog doesn't run MSHTML code in immersion mode, so the Query policy effectively equates to a Disallow policy. The bug here is someone in VS assumed "about:blank" resolves to the Internet zone, and when it resolves to the Local Computer zone you get this behavior.
The workaround is to remove "about:blank" zone mapping. Point regedit to this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]
Remove the "blank" key.
Alternatively you can change the Local Machine Lockdown policy for executing scripts. The reg key for that is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Lockdown_Zones\0]
Set the "1400" DWORD value to 0.
There are many sites you need to list in your Trusted Sites. Following the trace of what the stupid, stupid login script does:
https://.visualstudio.com
https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com
https://.accesscontrol.windows.net
https://auth.gfx.ms
https://login.live.com
Only then was I able to log on to my FREE software.
Hi this is Albert from Microsoft. Just want to let you all know that this issue has been fixed in the upcoming Update 2 for Visual Studio 2013. Thanks for your patience while we figured this one out :)
Same problem "Browser is security restricted or JavaScript is disabled" here but the solution from #jic didn't work for me..
If you can and it is convenient for you this is a solution which worked for me:
I have created a new user/profile on my PC and for this user it was just working fine.
Before this action I have tried to make an user account which had this problem as:
Power user - didn't work
Administrator - didn't work as well
So the last solution in my case was a brand new user on the PC..
Here's what worked for me.
Open Control Panel, Internet Options.
First, I clicked the Security tab and turned security the security for the Internet zone to its minimum.
Next, click the Privacy tab, then click Advanced. Choose "Accept" for both types of cookies.
Of course you can change these all back after extending your VS trial.
you must change secure settings of iexplore for admin account. If logon by other account, you must start iexplore under admin account or logon under admin account, because you will get license after admin account.
Click on Start --> Run --> type cmd and click on OK.
Command Prompt will be opened. Then enter this command.
ipconfig /flushdns
and press Enter.
Now try to access https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com/Profile/View
It worked for me...
As I can not add a comment yet to the answer of CBGraham, I've to add this note over here:
The solution described from CBGraham worked for me (Thanks Graham). I had to add an additional link:
https://account.live.com
Then I opened the IE and tried to login to a Microsoft site. I left the IE window open and just clicked once again on the VS to login. Then it worked for me. Even with strong restrictions on the IE settings. While I'm surprised why someone should set down his security settings, just to register VS.

User mycomputer\myloginName does not have required permissions

I am trying to access the report manager url for SSRS. But, I keep on getting the error below -
User mycomputer\myloginName does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
I tried to run my browser as admin as described here - User '' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2008 on Windows 8
with no success. I also don't see the 'site settings' on top-right corner as mentioned by so many people. Also, I cannot go through the pain of reinstalling SQL server all over again. I don't want to disable UAC.
I am unable to do anything because of this problem.
How do I fix this problem?
This solution is for Internet Explorer. I don't know how it can be done for firefox or chrome.

See the solutions by Chirag Shah. Follow only up to step 13. I could not follow Step 14 because I found no home dialog box.
In the steps Chirag talks about some URL's. I don't really understand the meaning of any of those URL's. So, I used the URL under "Report Manager URL" in "Reporting Services Configuration Manager". It was
http://localhost:8080/MyReportServer.
The 8080 is a port number.
Once you finished this, go to the link below and follow all the steps -
http://www.soheib.com/technical-knowledge/sql-server-2012-reporting-services-uac-user-access-control/
In the 7th step, I saw a lot of check boxes. I selected all of them.
Finally, I can rest in peace. Hope it works for you too.
Also, when making the accounts described in the above link, you might see "BUILTIN\Administrators" account. Ignore it - thats what i did.
**END OF POST**
Steps taken from Chirag Shah's post -
Configure the report server for local administration. To access the report server and Report Manager locally, follow these steps:
Start Windows Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click Security.
Click Trusted Sites.
Click Sites.
Under Add this Web site to the zone, type http://ServerName. If you are not using HTTPS for the default site, click to clear the Require server certification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
Click Add.
Repeat step 7f and step 7g to add the http localhost URL, and then click Close.
Note This step enables you to start Internet Explorer and open either the localhost or the network computer name of the server for both the Report Server application and the Report Manager application.
Create role assignments that explicitly grant you access together with full permissions. To do this, follow these steps:
Start Internet Explorer together with the Run as administrator option. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, right-click Internet Explorer, and then click Run as administrator.
Open Report Manager. By default, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports. If you use SQL Server Express with Advanced Services SP2, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$sqlexpress. If you use a named instance of Reporting Services, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$InstanceName
i was receiving blank page after i was logging exactly 3 times on my report server URL.
i've Turn Off Internet Explorer Enhanced Security. On different OS's it is in different location. find the location and turn it off.
I hope this will help you.

What is overriding Windows proxy settings (inserting "vsts-proxy-installed-indicator") and how do I turn it off?

I have a number of machines, all of which have Visual Studio installed, where something (presumably visual studio) is overriding the proxy settings: setting up localhost and some random port for both HTTP and HTTPS. In the "Do not use proxy server" box, it puts <vsts-proxy-installed-indicator> which is presumably a tag so it know it's done it.
This occasionally prevents browsers from working on my desktop, and more recently, changed it on our build server which caused the code signing step (which connects to an external timestamp server) to fail all day until I finally found this proxy issue.
What is changing these settings? Why is it changing them? How do I turn it off?
Note, there is a serverfault question about this as well: What is inserting “vsts-proxy-installed-indicator”? but since this is a Visual Studio-specific question, I thought it might be better to ask here.
This happens because you've enabled "ASP.NET Client Proxy for IntelliTrace and Test Impact" in the Test Settings.
To disable - VS2010: Open the menu Test > Edit Test Settings > (select the current active test settings), select Data and Diagnostics and disable the mentioned setting.
To disable - VS2013: Double click on the enabled* .testsettings-file in the solutions explorer, select Data and Diagnostics and disable the mentioned setting.
*) You'll find which one is enabled (if any) under TEST> Test settings
Keep <vsts-proxy-installed-indicator> in the exception list along with the other proxy and exception settings. This will solve the issue.
It looks like running mstests (e.g., from the "Test List Editor" tab triggers this! Can someone reproduce?

Where in the registry can I find the current setting of an IE8 policy?

I have set the following policy with gpedit in a Windows Server 2008 machine that has IE8:
I have a source that tells me that configuration resides in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions\NoExtensionManagement -- but that's a lie. There isn't even an Internet Explorer folder under Software\Policies\Microsoft.
Moreover, the same source says the setting is under "Computer Configuration\Network\Internet Explorer\Do Not Allow Users to enable or Disable Add-Ons" on gpedit. As you see above, that isn't true either.
OK, the "source" I'm talking about is the US Government: http://usgcb.nist.gov/usgcb/download_ie8.html -- namely, their IE8 OVAL definitions.
So, where in the registry is that setting?
It is an either/or. The policy can be implemented via the registry OR the GPO. You'll find your GPO where it is set in something like:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\{71DA9274-FD7B-4660-A801-B013570D3F5F}Machine\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
or
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2090352725-1269969352-1905203885-2959\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\{71DA9274-FD7B-4660-A801-B013570D3F5F}Machine\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
though the GPO itself is stored on disk, and not the registry ... I think here:
%systemroot%\System32\GroupPolicy
As far as where you'll find various settings in gpedit - it does depend on your version of windows.
After getting hit with some unwanted intrusive piece of software, I couldn't reset the IE8 settings on my Windows XP machine (yes, I know how old that is). Found the problem - the "Control Panel" settings had an additional registry entry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
The zonemap under this registry key had 1803 disabled. That made three different entries for the same value in the registry. It wasn't IE8, it wasn't Group Policies. It was a rogue copy hidden in the HKLM that overrode other settings.
Symptom included that message "some settings controlled by Group Policy ..." Well, who's the group, exactly, on my tablet.
The Microsoft KB182569 is excellent. The only missing data was where to find the "unwanted" copy of zones.
