I recently downloaded IE6 to see if it would correct my
problem and it didn't. My problem is that I am unable to
change the home page on internet options. It is stuck on
yahoo and this is not a problem because that is the page
I want, however when I try to change it I get a
Restrictions message that tells me " this operation has
been canceled due to restriction in effect on this
computer, please contact your system administrer? How can
I change this?
 
Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs. Download a fix from:

Also, refer Fix 268 from Kelly's site: [For Windows XP]

Restore All tabs in IE and Removes the ** Internet Options ** Restrictions
as well

The problem may be due to:

1. 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 **

( Caused by a malware called CoolWebSearch. Also, Download:

2. You have enabled SpyBot immunize (protection) feature or any other
similar software. Also, disable the following features:
