Unable to browse sites? This section is for you.

A new security feature of Windows Server 2003 has set Internet Explorer to high security by default, so you won't be able to browse any sites. Want to fix this? Read on!

To remove Internet Explorer's Enhanced Security Configuration, we will need to do this via Add or Remove Programs. Go to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components -> and then scroll down until you see Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration. Click on Details and uncheck both boxes as shown in the screenshot to the left. Click OK and OK!

Now fire up Internet Explorer and you'll be faced with the page as shown in the screenshot to the right, warning you that IE's Enhanced Security Configuration is not enabled. Simply change your homepage in Internet Explorer's options, and that's it, you won't be seeing it again!

As usual, read on to the next section!
