I think I may have downloaded and then installed
a "update" that for IE6 that allows PPTP.

That has casued me to be unable to edit Settings in IE6
because I get a message that there are restrictions on my
PC and to contact the System Administrator.
Can I get back to just being a simple one man PC user. Can
this be rectified.

Some one must know
 
What "update"?
Exactly what are you trying to do when you get the message?
If you are trying to access Internet Options then read on, otherwise
please supply more detail.

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.

You might try this snippet 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" '
