I've tried in the last two days, since installing the latest critical
patch on my XP, (HP 200 G hd, 512 RAM), to change image settings on my
browser.
I get a message box:
Restrictions
(x) This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on
this computer. Please contact your system administrator.


Well, I am the system administrator, as sole user of this machine, since
purchase. What do I need to fix on the registry or Sys or ?? to stop
this from appearing?

Thanks

Use Regedit.exe and search for NoBrowserOptions and remove it.
It is most likely to be here (but not necessarily)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions
If you are unfamiliar with Regedit, then ensure you know how to
restore your Registry in case of error and it is a good to export any
key before deleting.

Check the startup (Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab) for any unknown
items if it is reset on reboot.

If you use SpyBot's Immunize feature, then you can unlock in Tools-IE
Tweaks-"Lock IE Control Panel"

WONDERFUL Alan, thanks very much. I did find both the regedit option and
the SpyBot Immunize option. Fantastic help, so quickly. Thanks again!
