ICReadOnly Read Me
ICReadOnly is override component that marks all of the IC preferences as locked. It serves two purposes. Firstly it’s an effective demonstration of the advanced features that Internet Config makes possible. Secondly it’s a useful debugging tool for programmers to test how well they handle read only preferences.
Installation
Drop Internet Config ReadOnly into your Extensions folder and reboot. Alternatively drop it on to a component installation application such as Reinstaller.
How It Works
ICReadOnly is the simplest example of how to use the ICGenericOverride shell for writing override components. You should read the read me associated with that shell for more information about how it works.
ICReadOnly works by trapping the ICGetPref call to mark all preferences as locked and the ICSetPref call to return an error, thereby preventing any programs changing the preferences.
