Internet Explorer Options...I can't get to them

[cpage]

When I click on 'TOOLS' then 'INTERNET OPTIONS' in
Internet Explorer, instead of getting the Internet Options
Window, I receive this message in a 'Restrictions' Window:

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

I am using Windows XP and IE ver6.0

This does not happen with all user profiles, just mine.

What do I do to fix this?

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

If so, this behaviour is normal. If you are not using Spybot, the problem
may be due to a spyware.

"Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs". Download fix from:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k

Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system and eliminate
the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary. ** Remember to
update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **

( Caused by a malware called CoolWebSearch. Also, Download:
