I can not acces my internet options

[Guest]

I suddenly have an error message when trying to open my internet options. It
says : "Restriction: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." I don't
know why this is coming up, or how to get around it to adjust the
restrictions. Can anyone help me??

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 idea to export
any key before deleting.

Check the startup (Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab) for any unknown
items if it is reset on reboot.

If you use SpyBot's Immunize feature, then you can unlock in Tools-IE
Tweaks-"Lock IE Control Panel"
