This is what I get when I try to use Tool's,Internet
Options in explorer 6.0.28.

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator.

I am administrator, it is XP Professional, Legal copy,
all updates, and has only happened lately.
Pentium 4, 1 gig ram. MVP's please advise

Hi Carla,

If you're using SpyBot S&D:

Have you enabled the following option in SpyBot?: [Tip from MVP Mike Burgess]
"Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE"

[Restrictions error while opening Internet Options]

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".
