it would be great if someone could help me to solve two
issues:

- when i try to open tools/internet options on my laptop,
i get the following message: "this operation has been
cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
please contact your system administrator". i don't know
what is happening, this is my persomal laptop and it used
to work

- another intriguing issue: i can no longer use the
standby mode on my computer. just have now the
possibility to go for "turn off" or "restart"

anybody who would have an idea, please let me know. i
would LOVE to understand!

thanks, adrien
 
Hi Adrien,

Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs. Download a fix from:
http://mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE_reset_restrictions.reg

The problem may be due to:

1. A spyware. Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system
and eliminate the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **

( Caused by a malware called CoolWebSearch. Also, Download:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip )

2. You have enabled SpyBot immunize (protection) feature or any other
similar software. Also, disable the following features:
"Lock IE start page against user changes"
"Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE"
