Re: Advanced Internet Options

Hi Don:
Thanks for your reply.

Your solution might well work. However there are problems. The major problem
is that I cannot anticipate when I will be asked whether I want to load a
language pack so I don't have a "before" version of the registry. Also, I
the situation might be more complicated than a nice descrete registry
change. If I decline to load a pack, I wont be asked again if I revisit that
web page. My guess is that such information is not stored in the registry.
If I had a test machine I would try your method but it might be a little to
risky for a production machine.
regards......ralph

Hi,
I've had "Install on demand" (IE and other) unchecked for a long time and
haven't missed it. But then, I may not be visiting sites where a language
pack would be helpful.

As far as reversing "Never install any language packs." If you choose that
option, it will set a registry value. So... it can be reversed via regedit
if you can find the value. Example: Outlook Express has a key at
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Dont Show Dialogs]
where various "Don't show this again" options can be reversed by changing
the value from 1 to 0.

You might try this... Download and install RegShot from
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download965.html or
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Registry-Tweak/Reg-Shot.shtml Install
it
and experiment with it. Before clicking on "Never install any language
packs" take a snapshot. Click the "Never install" box then take a second
shot. Compare the two to see what changed in the registry.

Regmon from http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html is a more
powerful tool, but you will have to choose good filter terms to cut
results
down to a manageable number.

Don:
Thanks for you reply. I didn't know that right clicking these options was
supported.
On another forum I was advised to use this option but that did not seem
to
be correct. Perhaps you can help answer my underlying question.

I am running IE 6 under Win XP Pro in the United States. When visiting
foreign sites, a window often pops up asking whether I want to install a
language packs. I have always declined. I am tempted to check the box
that
says
"Never install any language packs". However, I need to know how to
restore
the ability to install a language pack at my option in the future if
needed.
How can I do this?
thanks....ralph

Hi,
Re: Install on demand...
See: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=222639

If you right-click those entries, there's a What's this option. It will
provide some information.

For more information, a Google search is a good place to start. You
might
start by searching just microsoft. For example, this in the google
search
field will search only microsoft.com for install on demand
site:microsoft.com install on demand

What is he effect of checking "Enable Install on Demand (Internet
Explorer)"
in Tools > Internet Options >Advanced tab > Browsing section?
Also, does anyone know where I can find a list of the meaning of all
of
the
options on the Advance tab?
....thanks.....ralph
