About one week ago I was trying to access Internet Options and a message appears that says:

"This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." The box say's on it called Restrictions.

I am the only user on my lap top and have it connected to the my home network, which I am the administrator of the network on this lap top.

HELP Please! How can I change my settings to remove this restriction and be able to access the internet options on my ie6 browser. Thank you in advance for any help on this.
 
Please post in plain text as an HTML post may be ignored by some.

Use Regedit.exe and search for NoBrowserOptions and remove it.
It is most likely to be here (but not necessarily)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions
If you are unfamiliar with Regedit, then ensure you know how to
restore your Registry in case of error and it is a good to export any
key before deleting.

Check the startup (Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab) for any unknown
items if it is reset on reboot.

You might try this snippet from Mike Burgess first if you use SpyBot:
'Did you by chance run SpyBot's Immunize feature?
If so, you can unlock by unchecking the option to "Protect IE Control
Panel" '

Hi Mark,

Refer Fix 268 from Kelly's site:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Restores All tabs in IE and Removes the ** Internet Options ** Restrictions
as well

** The cause may be due to a spyware. Download Ad-Aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system and eliminate the malware products.
Re-apply the above if necessary.
