in tools from the internet explorer toolbar:
RESTRICTIONS - THIS OPERATION HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO
RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT ON THIS COMPUTER. PLEASE CONTACT
THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR. I am the administrator and
don't remember changing any settings!!!!

Hi

Most likely the work a worm or similar (it could be from some spyware or
parasite as well).

Copy and paste the URL address lines into your IE address bar:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

and import the registry files under the following lines:

225. Restore Folder Options/Internet Options
268. Restore All Tabs under Internet Options


More about this registry values here:

Internet Explorer Toolbar Restrictions
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1111/



To try to find what has caused this:

Run a cleanup tool, e.g. Stinger.exe from McAfee, it removes 30+
virus/worms in one sweep.

McAfee AVERT Stinger

For the Spyware and Parasites part, you will need to run other tools:
