Cannot access Options

If I try to access options I get the following message" This operation is cancelled due to restrictions on this computer.Please contact system administrator". Anyone have any ideas.

Did you install SpyBot recently?

When I go to 'Tools' 'Internet Options' I get the following error:
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact your system administrator.

If you have SpyBot S & D installed, go to SpyBot - Search and Destroy
Immunize, and UNcheck the "Lock IE Control Panel..." box.


If you have troubles with your browser not having all the controls in the
expected
places download and run this .reg file.

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