My IE 6 pops up a phrase similar to "access denied,
restricted operation, see administrator".

I looked at content advisor and settings are grey and
enable is bold. This indicates to me, regedit was
changed to kill content policies, but either way, I would
assume Internet Options should work for me.

I forgot my supervisor password from when I did use
retriction a year ago, I check and restriction setting is
on high.

I just want to use Internet options again, no need to
restrict my family machine.
 
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 to export any
key before deleting.

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

You might try this snippet 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" '

I don't see the connection with Content Advisor but try this for that
problem:

I've forgotten my Content Advisor password.

Alan, Thanks for the snippet you posted from from Mike
Burgess. I had forgotten about this option in Spybot.
Thanks also to Dru for beating me to the question. Dru I
hope you were able to fix you reg problem as well.
Take all, JD
