Close IE.
Open Regedit.
Find the value NoBrowserOptions and remove every instance of it.

You might try this 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". See:

This is usually caused by spyware/adware or programs that
remove spyware or adware. Some popup stoppers and
antivirus software also do this. If you installed any
software like that change the settings in that program to
allow you to change internet options.

You should check for parasites. That may be where the
restriction came from.
