I am the only person in my house or on my computer, or
some reason, when i try to access the internet options
from the Tools bar on internet explorer, it tell me
that "this operation has been cancelled due to
restrictions on this computer, contact your
administrator" I have windows xp and the only password i
have on my computer is when i turn it on. I have never
set any restriction on other programs other than
quicken.

Any ideas.

I did try to install the new IE version (I have 6, but
tried to install 6.2 or something and got a messgae that
it was not compatible with my machine....imagine that)

I have a fairly new, big fast dell, with 1 gig ram and
2.5 gh motherboard, so it should not the the capabilities
of my machines

Thanks for any help

Item No. 268 (Restore All Tabs under Internet Explorer).

NOTE: If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script,
this is normal if you have "Script Safe" or similar technology enabled.
These scripts are not malicious, but they do make changes to the System
Registry.

Well, i learned a long time ago to not mess with the
registry and in by diong that learned quite about about
computers so i was reluctant to again mess with the
registry, but after several attempts at other fixes tried
yours and it worked wonderfully. You site offers so much
cool stuff and is now bookmarked. Thanks so much.
