Resetting (Internet Explorer) Internet Options but....
Hi,
I need to create a stand-alone application that will do the following
for Windows 98 / Me / 2000 / XP:
Internet Explorer:
History (clear)
Temporary Internet Files (clear)
Security (default level)
Privacy (default level)
Advanced options (default level)
It will therefore act as a substitute to going into Tools ->
Internet Options and manually clicking buttons.
I need the app to be "invisible" (the user need not see
what is happening), and it will be invoked from another front-end
application (when the user clicks a button it will do all of the
above in the background for them).
Any help / pushes in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
G.

Why does it have to be a separate app? Why can't you do it in the front end app where you click the button?

Hi Scorpions4ever,
Much of a muchness really, I'd still need to develop the code when the button is clicked.
In any case, my front end application is developed in Flash MX / Actionscript. IMO it lacks the low level functionality that I believe is necessary for this task....
I may be wrong, but I think this is more likely going to involve quite complex API calls which Flash MX cannot invoke. Not sure what the calls would be though....
However, I hope I am wrong, because if it was just a matter of manipulating various registry settings I could do it already (assuming I could find what the actual settings are)....
Any help would be great.

Awesome mate, thanks so much for that it will help a lot. Especially the API stuff.
Although, I'd already looked at that registry entry, it does not seem to be affected if you change any security levels (e.g. go from low, to high, then back to default....). To set IE Security levels back to default may well be a registry alteration, but quite possibly elsewhere. Will look into it.
As for the other tabs in the Tools -> Internet Options menu, any other clues that you can think of would be very welcome.
Cheers,
G.
