"Internet Options" - no access "contact administrator"

I installed a cable modem (Adelphia) and after the
software ran it wanted a network password. I'm home
alone, ever used a password for this so I click cancel.
It asks me the same thing each time I startup, but then
runs fine except:

- I can't access "internet options" in ie6 -
says "contact administrator"

- Can't access network setting through "Neighborhood
network"

I'm running Win 98 & ie6.

My cable modem and mail work fine - just can't change my
start page & other settings.

Click to expand...

Close IE.
Open Regedit.
Find the value NoBrowserOptions and remove every instance of it.

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". See:

Edward,

Reset the Internet Explorer tabs and remove all the browser restrictions.
Download the script from:

Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs
http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/sramesh2k/reg/IE_reset_restrictions.reg


Also, refer Fix 268 from Kelly's site:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Restore All tabs in IE and Removes the ** Internet Options ** Restrictions
as well


The problem is due to a spyware. Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com,
scan the system and eliminate the malware products. Re-apply the above fix
if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **
