Hi, I came back to this question that I posted a long time ago because now I've got a new computer with Win 7, so how do I totally disabled inprivate browsing for all users? Any solutions? Posted 07 October - AM. I guess the reason I mention the operating system is because on the net you read to disable the inprivate browsing is through that group policy again But I should have looked closer at your fix for the XP. I just assumed that it was like the group policy fixes I've seen on the net, now I see that it was not.
It was my mistake. The admin at sevenforums. After I posted to him he fixed it and then I downloaded it again and it worked. So I've got the inprivate browsing disabled for all users now Posted 07 October - PM. Thanks dsenette! Reply to quoted posts Clear.
