i want to change my homepage setting, but somehow I've disabled the field on
the internet options general window for setting/changing homepage

when I try to select Internet Options off the Tools menu, I get a message
that says I need to contact the system administrator because I hve no
privilege

I'm sure I somehow took this option away myself -- can someone tell me how
to regain control of these panels?

thanks

doerz,
Did you by chance run SpyBot's Immunize feature?
"Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE (current user)"

Please start Spybot-S&D again in advanced mode (usually from the Start menu
group Spybot - Search &D Destroy, until you've already changed the desktop
icon to advanced mode), and go to the Immunize page.
There you'll see a group Recommended miscellaneous options. Untick the
checkboxes in front of both Lock IE... options. You may need to close all
Explorer windows, and maybe even restart Windows before these changes take
place.

If the above doesn't apply .....

There may be a Registry restriction in place?
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/UnlockNoBrowserOptions.reg
Download, right-click and select: Edit (to view in Notepad)
Right-click and select: Merge (to enter the info into the Registry)

[or]
Start | Run (type) "regedit" (no quotes)
Scroll down to the following location:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000001

If the above entry exists: "NoBrowserOptions"
Click "Registry" (up top) select: "Export" (export = copy)
Enter a filename (hint) - NoBrowserOptions
Click Save, highlight the "NoBrowserOptions" entry in the right pane.
Right-click and select: Delete, close Regedit and reboot.

Clicking "Internet Options" on the Tools Menu Returns Error Message
