SYMPTOMS
When you create a custom administrative template file to customize Microsoft Win32 Internet (WinINet) settings on a Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer, WinINet ignores the policies that you set.

For example, when you define a Group Policy object (GPO) to turn on the Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections setting, the policy is applied, and the setting is turned on. However, WinINet ignores the policy and continues to use HTTP 1.0 for proxy connections.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because WinINet ignores the  registry key settings under the following registry subkeys:

When the Security_HKLM_Only registry key is enabled after you apply this hotfix, the location where the following two settings are reflected and saved changes:
 * EnableHTTP1.1 (Tools- Internet Options - Advanced tab – Use HTTP 1.1)
 * ProxyHttp1.1 (Tools- Internet Options - Advanced tab – Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections)

The following location is where the change is reflected and saved:  The location of the registry that the module that does not contain the fixes of 904710 refers:

If two options are changed from the setting of the default values like this, you have to change the registry setting. You can use the following ADM template example to push out the registry keys by using Group Policy:
