When I select tools,internet options in IE7 I get the following message:
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this
computer.Please contact your system administrator"

This just started for some reason and I haven't been able to restore my
access.

XP Prof,SP2,IE7

Any help is certainly appreciated..
 
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 idea to export
any key before deleting.

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

If you use SpyBot's Immunize feature, then you can unlock in Tools-IE
Tweaks-"Lock IE Control Panel"

No joy on the remove restrictions tool but the registry tweak fixed the
problem.All's Ok now plus I have a recent system state backup.

Many thanks Claymore and Alan for the help and quick response.
