I had the same problem recenty and couldn't find the reason for some
time. At the end, after updating Spybot S&D, I discovered it had an
option to disable changes in IE that was activated.
A check with reg.exe showed which key had been activated.
reg query "hkcu\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions"
! REG.EXE VERSION 2.0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
NoBrowserOptions REG_DWORD 0x0
This batch should do the checking four you and after confirmation sets
NoBrowserOptions to 0x0.
::chk-nbo.cmd::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:: This batch requires REG.EXE included in XP
@echo off
setlocal
set key=\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
set nbo=NoBrowserOptions
for /f "tokens=3" %%A in ('reg query "hklm%key%"2^>NUL^|find /I "%nbo%"'
) do if %%A NEQ 0x0 call :sub HKLM %%A
for /f "tokens=3" %%A in ('reg query "hkcu%key%"2^>NUL^|find /I "%nbo%"'
) do if %%A NEQ 0x0 call :sub HKCU %%A
Echo Checking done.
goto :eof
:sub
setlocal
set /P ask=%nbo% in %1 is set to %2. Set to 0x0 ? [YN]:
if /I "%ask%" NEQ "Y" goto :eof
reg add "%1%key%" /v %nbo% /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0 /f
