I have a windows XP system qnd I have FULL administrator
rights. But when I try to change my internet option I
get a messages that states I do not have administrator
rights to make the change?
How do I fix this problem?
Thank you
Roger
 
Hi Roger,
I have a very similar challenge. I can't seem to change any of the options
in the "customized" security tab in the internet tools option. I was
wondering if you've had any success with this problem? Thank you!

Hi

See http://www.dougknox.com/, Win XP Fixes, Fix Internet Options Restrictions

Your IE is most likely hijacked (or if you have SpyBot Search and
Destroy installed, it can have locked it)...

Try to create a new account with administrators rights and
check it out if it will work on that..If it does just use
the new account and delete the old one.

You make it sound so easy but what about all the programs registered in the
other users name?
