This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions

[Guest]

When I use ie6 tools\internet options I get "This operation has been
cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your
system administrator.

Well I'm the adminstrator

Thank you for any help.

If you have used SpyBot's Immunize tool, see this:
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=faq&detail=24

Otherwise try here

Close IE.
Open Regedit.
Find the value NoBrowserOptions and remove every instance of it.
It is most likely (but not necessarily) to be here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

You might try this 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".
See http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showtopic=6748

AdAware, MS Anti-Spyware and other anti-spyware and anti-virus programs may
have similar options.

Hi,
If you use Spybot S&D, open Spybot in Advanced mode and check the Tools> IE
Tweaks
settings. You may have placed this restriction inadvertently.

If not ... go to Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Scroll down to
"Various Registry Fixes"

Next (same page) check for parasites and other malware which may have caused
this, if Spybot didn't.

Hope this helps,

I already deleted NoBrowser options. And yes I was using spygot immunize.
I unstalled the immunize thinking it may lock my internet options, but
uninstalling did'nt fix the problem. Delete NoBrowser in regedit worked.

Hi,
I see, in your reply to Frank, that you got this fixed.

In the current version of Spybot (1.4) "Lock IE control panel" is under
Tools. It used to be, in the previous version, under Immunize. Are you
running an old version of Spybot?
