Can't access the options menu

[Guest]

I updated my xp with the latest "fix" and updated IE to
6. Now I can't access my options in IE. I get the
messge: "This operation has been canceled due to
restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact
your Administrator."

I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR.

I can access the Internet properties menu through control
panel, but the home page option is greyed out there. I
have a feeling they are related somehow.

I have contacted MS and they have not answered me. Can
anyone help me?
