"Restrictions in effect on this computer"

[Dean Mixon]

Lately (after an abortive attempt to install Norton
antispam software), whenever I click on Tools/Internet
Options on IE I get a message that I cannot access this
tool because of the above.

Ours is a home computer with no restrictions. What can I
do to overcome this block?

Thanks a bunch,

Dean Mixon

To unlock the Internet Options, follow these steps:
1. Quit all instances of Internet Explorer
2. Open Regedit.exe, navigate to this branch:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
Restrictions]

3. Delete the "NoBrowserOptions" Binary value

4. Close Registry Editor, restart IE.
