I can't access tools / internet options from my browser. It says "this
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer". I tried re-booting and no help. (the only way i can edit is
from control panel/internet options, but i will forget this, and other
family members will never remember to do this.)
Any suggestions how to get back my ability to edit IE from the browser
toolbar?
thanks!!!
