We have used Steady state for 2 years now and we blocked the browsing of all websites but the ones listed in the allowed field separated by ; as is required and it works. We however want to remove steady state now for behavioural issues and find that it still remembers its policy changes. what i need to know is where is the information stored (policy/registry) for the list of allowed websites and the setting that tells the system to block all traffic otherwise. Seeing as I uninstalled it and its not working, it must still be there somehow. I checked the registry for the plain english names (websites) we allow and cant find any. Please help. Otherwise can you recommend something else that works the same. I know I can also use the hosts file but if the IP for these sites change i dont want to go and manually update 100 individual sites that are not part of a authomatic update service. Help

Hi, That seem Windows SteadyState doesn’t remove properly. Please remove Windows SteadyState by these steps below: 1. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple Operating Systems, you can press the F8 key when you see the boot menu. 2. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select Safe Mode, and then press Enter. 3. Log onto Windows by using the Administrator account or any user account with the Administrator privileges. 4. Delete the Cache.wdp file under drive C. If the cache file cannot be found, let’s show hidden files with the following steps. ----------------------- 1. Open drive C: Click Organize menu-> Folders and search option. 2. Click the View tab. Under Hidden files and folders, click "Show hidden files and folders." 3. To display other hidden files, clear the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" check box. 4. Click the "Hide extensions for known file types". 5. Click OK. After that, delete related registry keys and files ----------------------- 1. Click Start and then Run. 2. Type in regedit and then click OK. 3. Navigate and delete the following two branches(you can back up these registries before delete ): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Computer Toolkit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Windows SteadyState 4. Search and delete all Windows SteadyState related entries. 5. Delete files under C:\Program Files\Windows SteadyState Regards, Leo Huang Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

NO no. I have it removed correctly. What i need to know is, I have some sites in the allowed websites section prior to removal. What im asking is, if those websites are stored somewhere that I can add more to that list? Or is this a steady state only function. I want to only allow some websites to work but have to remove steady state. Different profiles etc. Where does steady state store the allowed websites field data.

Hi, Sorry for my misunderstanding. Web access allowed is only the function of Windows SteadyState. That’s hard to change any registry to realize that, if you want to make sure if it impossible to set Web access allowed, you can ask Windows Vista Forum for confirm. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsvistaitpro Thank you for your understanding.
