Help with user security settings

Am a bit confused as to why the government department does not have its own IT people to fix the problem??

I like ICit2lol am also curious why the I.T.Department isn't taking care of such problems. Please read the Forum Rules.

Windows 7 Help Forums - Forum Rules

Rule #6 comes to mind.

Hacking? Are you serious? I'm an employee for the department of military affairs. I am am the IT person for this unit.

No one is breaking the forums rules. Stop jumping to conclusions.

Hang on Nexrus mate if you had stated that you worked for that government department in the first instance and that you were just taking over from someone else then we wouldn't be at this juncture.
I for one read your post in a different light to what is now clear - it is basically the way you worded the initial post mate - see the very first sentence it does look like you have been brought in from an outside agency to fix a problem, I certainly was of that opinion.
So don't think that we are out to "get" people nothing could be further from the truth. I think you have to take the initial responsibility for us (meaning you, myself and Layback Bear) being like I said at this juncture.
I myself work for an Australian State government department and I answered your post as it sounded a very familiar type of problem that I have run across over the years hence my initial post. So I hope this has cleared the air and that we can try and get things sorted instead of generating the atmosphere of distrust which again I will say was caused how your post #1 read.
However if you feel that you have been unfairly treated then I will unsubscribe from this thread.

My apologies for not saying that initially.

Even if I had been brought in from an outside agency, nothing in my post indicates that I was attempting to hack anything. I simply wanted help.

Well apology accepted as I don't like leaving things with bad feelings. I don't think anyone was really trying to say you were blatantly hacking it is just that in here we generally try to maintain ethical behaviours and I think that over recent times there was a swathe of individuals who were either not the full dollar or who were up to no good.

So back to your problem the IE problem is probably the root cause so your problems track across all machines whether they run XP or 7 / IE9 or 10? Because it is an issue for us.

Nexrus we have many come to our Forum to by pass a workplace computer. Wanting to know how to bypass the I.T.Departments settings and rules.
From behind our keyboards we really can't tell who is who and who owns the computers.

The Forum rules don't accuse anybody of anything.
They do indicate to me the Forums concerns on such matters.
I or ICit2lol have not accused you of doing anything wrong.

Have a nice day.

Well my next and perhaps daft query is and assuming that the machines are linked is why are some using 9 and some 10?

Oh and sorry for late reply am on night duty at the moment and it is as usual not the easiest shift in the world.
