Can't open Internet Options in IE6

[Xplorer]

suddenly can no longer open Internet Options under the Tools menu of IE6.
I get the following red x message:

Restrictions: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.

I am logged in as the administrator. I still can access the Internet Options
through control panel.

Hi Frank
Read you SpyBot help file
I can't access my IE settings any more! FAQ #024
Internet Explorer tells you to contact your administrator when you try
to access the IE settings?
This can happen if you use Spybot-S&D in advanced mode and you have
used the Immunize feature without reading all the text

Please start Spybot-S&D again in advanced mode (usually from the Start
menu group Spybot - Search &D Destroy, until you've already changed
the desktop icon to advanced mode), and go to the Immunize page.
There you'll see a group Recommended miscellaneous options. Untick the
checkboxes in front of both Lock IE... options. You may need to close
all Explorer windows, and maybe even restart Windows before these
changes take place.

Hint: this lock function has been added mostly for multi-user
environments where you wouldn't want other users of your computer to
change your IE settings. If you are the only user of your computer,
there's no real need to enable them.
