Yesterday I used the Windows Update to download and
install Internet Explorer patches 821557, 811493, 823980.
After installing these when I go to Internet
Explorer>Tools>Internet Options I get this response "This
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect
on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator." This is a home computer running Windows
XP Pro and I am the administrator! I tried using
Add/Remove Programs but these three do not appear in the
list of choices. I tried system restore with no success.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.
 
Thank you very much. Problem solved!

To unlock the Internet Options, follow these steps:
1. Quit all instances of Internet Explorer
2. Open Regedit.exe, navigate to this branch:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
Restrictions]

3. Delete the "NoBrowserOptions" Binary value

4. Close Registry Editor, restart IE.
