    "Hi, My PC Win XP at work has been converted into a paper weight by our IT guy. He has restricted nearly the entire web from being displayed. Is there any back door you know of for me to make the change in content advisor without knowing his admin log-on and password?";

    Do you like your job? Your company owns your computer equipment and has the right to restrict its usage. I would suspect your IT guy took this step because he was tired of cleaning out problems caused by people who surfed the WEB without restrictions.

    Once the company dictates rules for the use of its systems, it would be unethical for anyone to show you how to get around them. More importantly, you could be fired for doing so.

    Do your surfing at home, not on the office's time.

    Hi,
    That's a good way to put it!
    No, there isn't any way to override the administrator's settings.
    Best wishes,

    Ditto, it's their computer, and if you like your job like asked above, don't even do anything but what your supposed to do. If its fun you want, just do it at home... computers at work, are what they are made for, to do work.
