I cannot access Internet Options on Tools menu of IE.
Error message says, "This operation has been cancelled
due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please
contact your system administrator." This is a home
computer, and I am the only user. Why does this happen,
and how can I fix it? Please email me. Thank you very
much for your help.
 
Did you run SpyBot's Immunize feature?
If so, you can unlock by unchecking the option to:
"Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE (current user)l"

If the above doesn't apply, please see the following Knowledge Base Article:
