How To Disable The Internet Explorer 6 Support

Internet Explorer is the default web browser that comes with the Windows operating system. Users can customize the browser as per their requirements. By adjusting browser settings, users get better browsing experience. The support options for IE6 can be found in the Internet Options menu.

One can limit the access of another user by disabling this menu by editing the Windows registry entries.  In order to edit the Windows registry contents, you need to get specific registry keys. Usually these keys are found in the registry itself. If these keys are not present in the registry, you need to manually add them. To perform this, first you need to get access to the Windows Registry Editor on your computer. The following Internet Explorer support guidelines will help you disable IE6 support on your computer.

Instructions

  • Go to the Start menu on your computer taskbar and select the option Run. Type "regedit" into the Open text field and click the OK button or press the Enter key. This will open the Windows Registry Editor window.
  • You will see several options listed under this window. Locate the option labeled "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" and click on the “+” symbol next to it. This will expand the folder list. Now you need to expand the following sub folders in it. To do this, click on the “+” symbols for Software, Policies, Microsoft and then Internet Explorer folders. If you are not able to find the Internet Explorer folder, you need to right-click on Microsoft and then select Key. Here you need to type Internet Explorer and press the Enter key. 
  • Locate the Restrictions key and highlight it, if it is available. If you don’t find this key here, right-click on Internet Explorer and select the option New Key from the context menu. Here you will find the option to enter the key name. Type Restrictions as the key name and press the Enter key.
  • Once you have this key, right-click on the Restrictions key and highlight the option for New. Locate and select the option for DWORD.  Locate New Value box and type NoBrowserOptions into the text field. Press the Enter key to save the changes made. 
  • Now right-click on NoBrowserOptions and select the option Properties from the context menu. Locate the Value Data text box and type “1". Click the OK button to save the changes.
  • Finally click on the File drop-down menu and select the option Exit. Restart your computer to let the changes take effect. 

If you have any problems using the Internet Explorer, you can get support from the Internet Explorer support team and get your issues resolved.
