Delete this regkey
"HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\ratings\key"

Or drop the following into a text file give it a .vbs extension and run it.

set ws = createobject("wscript.shell")

on error resume next

ws.regdelete
"HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\ratings\key"

if not err.number = 0 then

msgbox "Content Advisor password not found on this machine",
vbinformation,"Disable Content Advisor"

wscript.quit

set ws = nothing

end if

msgbox "Content Advisor Password has been removed." & vbcr & _

"Open Internet Explorer and disable Content Advisor.", vbinformation,
"Disable Content Advisor"

set ws = nothing
