When I try to bring up Internet Options in IE 6.0.28, I
get the message "Operation cancelled due to restrictions
in effect on this computer. Please contact your System
Administrator."

The problem is that I AM the sysadmin and am logged in to
the admin account. I am getting this on 2 machines now -
1 XP Home and 1 XP Pro.

Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated because I'm
stumped. I don't have any restrictions that I know of.

Click to expand...

Close IE.
Open Regedit.
Find the value NoBrowserOptions and remove every instance of it.

You might try this 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".
