hi, I am trying to change options within the "advanced"
settings tab in IE6, which is reached by going to
Tools -> Internet options -> "advanced" tab

Unfortunately, when I try to change any of the settings in
this menu, they are all locked. I wonder if this can be
changed with TweakUI? Or whether there is a setting
somewhere else?

Either way I would appreciate some help :-)

Thanks,
James
 
You can restore the Internet Explorer tabs and remove browser
restrictions using Kelly's script here: Fix Line 268 from Kelly's site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

You have most likely some spyware, which has caused this at first place.

Wow! That's done the trick :-)

Thanks very much! I posted in about ten different places
and no-one else knew the answer, so if I have any problems
in future, I'll come back here first...

thanks again!
