I have a Pentium 4 running XP Home and in the last couple of days when
using my IE V6.0.2800.11.06 and I go to 'Tools - Internet Options', I
get a popup window which reads "This operation has been cancelled due
to restrictions in effect on the computer. Please contact your
Administrator"

I am the Administrator and have installed nothing in last few days. If
I right click on IE icon on the desktop, I can get into IE properties
and make changes to options without any popup message occurring.

Can anyone help me - has anyone struck this problem and know how to
fix it.
If so would you please tell me how I can remedy this problem.

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".
 
Thanks Frank
I had changed the options on IE in Spybot.
Once I unchecked the box along side 'Protect IE Control Panel", I
could use the 'Tools - Internet Options' in IE. Trying to ensure the
security of your system has it's drawbacks sometimes. Now I know the
cause I can live with it.

cheers
