Terminal Server and Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration

The key below will get rid of the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration message when set to 1.

This is useful when you have a Terminal Server and you enable the mode for administrators, but the warning shows up for users anyway.

The problem is caused because the default user account still has some tightened security applied. Most of this can be reversed with group policy, but this setting can't.

You have to open the default user registry hive as a file to edit this setting and have it apply to all new users.

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1659004503-2049760794-682003330-1107\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\IEHardenIENoWarn

REG_DWORD = 1
