Security settings

[MikieSlats]

I'm actually using IE7 but it's probably the same as 6 in this respect.
I am the Comp Administrator and signed in as such.
I'm trying to go to
http://www.transaction-id.com/thankyou/Software/thankyou.asp?comp=multi&proid=earth
I get the Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage message and the
"Restricted Sites" tab appears at the foot of the screen.
If I pass the cursor over the "restricted Sites"tab I see "Double click to
change security settings" but I can't access it.
If I go to "Internet Options" I get the message "This operation has been
cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact
your system administrator."
Any ideas what to do?
Michael

Hi,
Either a legitimate security program (or an administrator) has locked
Internet Options, or it was done by malware.

My first suspect would be Spybot S&D ((Spybot (Advanced Mode) Tools> IE
Tweaks> Lock IE control panel)) Several other security/antispyware programs
can lock various IE options/features.

If you don't have Spybot installed, look though settings of other programs
for an option like: Lock IE control panel, Protect IE settings, etc.

This might have been done through a Group Policy. If you go to Start> Run>
(type in) gpedit.msc, does Policy Editor open? Policy Editor isn't on all
versions of XP or Vista.

Sorry PA

I found the IE General after posting on IE6. I'll just use the other
posting. (Still learning)
