The homepage on IE Options seems to be locked and I cannot find where to
unlock it so I can change the current home page address. Also I have a
number of folders that have appeared in the favourites that I cannot get rid
of. When I opne organise favourites, they do not appear.

I have loaded the latest MS Antisyware but it hasnt solved the problems. Any
suggestions?

Click to expand...

Close IE.
Open Regedit.
Find the value NoBrowserOptions and remove every instance of it.
It is most likely (but not necessarily) to be here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

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".

AdAware, MS Anti-Spyware and other anti-spyware and anti-virus programs may
have similar options.
