I didn't think about that.
How do you go about doing it in Opera, only ever done it in FF.

Just found out how do so it with opera Tools->Quick Preferences->Edit site preferences->network->browser identification.
But it does seem that Firefox can do this much better Sad.
is their any other possibilities rather than the user agent?

They Could be running it based on user permissions.

user agent didn't work, i put a script on my site to see IE's user agent then put in into the override on FF but didn't work.
It was closer though, normally i would get the firefox error page but now it was a web displayed error page saying google.com could not be brought up.

Ok Check if IE is using a proxy, and if so set Opera /FF to use the same.
Also might be worth checking task manager > processes and see what user name IE is running under.

I tried that they restrict the information in options on IE so i couldn't see the connection settings.
EDIT:
I never think about registry files http://support.microsoft.com/kb/819961 , that looks like the one.

Registry files are great for unlocking security restrictions. Wink

I've noticed, I'm starting to understand where everything is in it now. Grin
I'm glad I thought of registry's before you told me though shows I do understand how to get past some security.

Well I'm not supprised but regedit was disabled.
So I thought hmmm... what do i use a proxy for then realised to hide my ass so i went to whatismyipaddress.com put that in the proxy then though 80,8080,8118 normally used for proxy so i started with the most obvious 80 click ok type in google.com and it worked Grin screw them i can use opera now!

It i want to use the privoxy on operator should I put in the proxy address ***.***.***.***:80 ? instead of using 127.0.0.1:80

I would of tried it but ran out of time.

Whats the best way to get around regedit as well?

Should work
If not just chain the two together.
http://darksat.x47.net/topic/685.0.html

As for unlocking your registry.
If you can import reg files try this.
Stick code into text doc and change to .reg extension, then merge.

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000
