'Delete cookies' disabled

[Guest]

In tools->Internet Options the buttons in the section labeled 'Temporary
Internet Files' are disabled. The uttons in this section are labeled 'Delete
Cookies...', 'Delete Files' and 'Settings...' They are all disabled. I used
the 'Delete Cookies...' and 'Delete Files...' buttons yesterday. I can't
think of anything that I've done that would have caused this. Has anyone got
an idea of how this might of happened, or even better, how to fix the problem?

Thanks for reading.

I fixed this using regedit.
Under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Control Panel" a key named 'Settings' had the value 1. I changed
this 1 to a 0 and problem solved. Various bits of Internet Options can be
turned on/off in this section of the registry. Still got no idea how it
happened...
