Internet Options

I wonder if someone can help me with this. I have recently started having
problem IE. It is not my primary browser but I do use it for certain sites.
The problem I have is that I can no longer access the internet options
section from the tools menu. The only way I can get to it is to go through
the control panel. Any one any ideas why this is happening.

Operating System Windows Xp.
IE version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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 to export any
key before deleting.

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

You might try this snippet 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" '
