How can i set a regsitry value for content advisor if i have deleted it accidently. Acually i want to enable content advisor in user profiles in my windows 2000 domain, so that i can restrict certian sites. But my colleague accidently deleted the registy entry for the content advisor, so when ever i restart my DC( Domain Controller)The settings are gone.
Please Explain step by step if possible.

First BACKUP the registry. In fact, back up the whole system, since it appears there have been issues.

The registry key you are seeking is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings\.Default]

DWords:

Allow_Unknowns, Enabled, PleaseMom

Create a new DWORD value for each required restriction from the list below.

Enabled - (1 = enable content advisor, 0 = disable)

Allow_Unknowns - (1 = display unrated sites, 0 = restrict unrated sites)

PleaseMom - (1 = allow supervisor password, 0 = no supervisor override)

Restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.
