IE 8 Blocking Kit

[IronBits]

IE 8 is going to be forced out to all computers in the near future.

You don't need to do anything if you want M$ to to it's thing.

If you want to block it, use the first command.

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\8.0" /v DoNotAllowIE80 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f


If you ran the above and change your mind later, run this one

REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\8.0" /v DoNotAllowIE80 /f

Will This update even is you have updates turned off ?

[IronBits]

Probably not...

Microsoft will distribute IE8 via Automatic Update (AU) and the Windows Update (WU) and Microsoft Update (MU) sites much like we did for IE7.

However, as proven in the past, they can pretty much do as they please, when the please, no matter what we do. ;)

Yes, and they took some pretty heavy flak from some large corporate accounts when they did that. So hard to tell whether or not they would do that again...

But if you are really concerned about it, just run linux. :jester:

[IronBits]
