How do I disable, not close, I mean disable, InPrivate Browsing for IE Version 8 for MS Windows XP Home Edition?

Try this Click Start, Run. Type GPEDIT.MSC and hit ENTER Go to: User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Internet Explorer / InPrivate Turn off InPrivate Browsing: Change Is Good http://www.citizenlink.org/Stopligh...

Hi Lurkswithin, Start/Run/GPEDIT.MSC Results: "Windows cannot find GPEDIT.MSC..." Am I doing something wrong? Thank you, MT

Win XP Home Edition does not have the GPEDIT.MSC utilty only Win XP Pro has this. The search box must be down again as I have posted this answer before.

Thanks soupnasty. Do you have a solution for disabling IE8's for MS Windows XP Home Edition?

I do not use Internet Explorer...

Turners, Sorry, My bad about forgetting that XP Home doesn't use GPEDIT.msc. Here is what I was able to come up with: 1) Right-click on your desktop and select "New"..."Text Document". 2) Name it to something like "IE8 IPSafeMode.reg" Note the changed file extension from .txt to .reg 3) Save the change and if prompted tell Windows you know you changed the file extension to .reg 4) Right-click on the file you just made and select "Edit". notepad should open Copy the following text and paste it into that Notepad file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Privacy] "EnableInPrivateBrowsing"=dword:00000000 (There should only be 4 lines so correct it in notepad to contain only 4 lines.... in this order...... Line 1 starts "windows registry...... Line 2 is open space line 3 starts.." [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\....... Line 4 starts "EnableInPrivateBrowsing"=dword:00000000 5) Save the file and then close it. 6) Double-click the file...you will be prompted .. if you want to add those changes into the Registry. Select Yes. 7) Reopen IE8 ....... InPrivate mode should now be disabled. Change Is Good http://www.citizenlink.org/Stopligh...
