Using Policies to Allow Animations in Web Pages

The_KiD · 16 Jun 2006 at 15:43

Anyone know how to use an active directory policies to set the setting in Internet Explorer that allows animations in web pages?

To do this in IE it is Tools > internet options > advanced > "play animations in web pages".

In all our browsers it is off by default, but I need enabling and dont fancy doing it one by one.

Personally I couldn't find an entry in the place in my IE Administrative Templates either :|

I suppose a more "hacky" method of achieving the same goal would be to create a User login-script that manipulates the registry key directly and apply this script using Group Policy

Yeah thats all I can think of too :s

Any idea where in the registry that setting is?

HKCU\Software \Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main \Play_Animations

Although this key doesn't exist out the box- it has to be created as a REG_SZ value and set to "no" or "yes"

Excellent, works like a charm buddy thanks!!!

FYI:

Code:

REM =====================Enable Animations in Web Pages=============

IF EXIST "\\serverfile\profiles\%username%\enableanim.txt" GOTO ENDANIM ELSE
NET USE z: \\lch-ad\netlogon
REGEDIT /s z:\regfiles\enableanim.reg
COPY z:\enableanim.txt "\\serverfile\profiles\%username%\"
NET USE z: /delete
