ie 6.0 Internet Options?

[BS]

Using ie 6.0. When attempting to access Internet Options under the Tools
menu I get the follow error msg:

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

I am the Administrator. In fact, I'm the only one who uses this computer.

Any advice?

Also, I must have screwed up a file or the registry. When I click on "Help
and Support" in the START menu nothing happens. No error msg. Zilch. How
can I correct my screw-up?

Thanks....Bob

Use Regedit.exe and search for NoBrowserOptions and remove it.
It is most likely to be here (but not necessarily)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions
If you are unfamiliar with Regedit, then ensure you know how to
restore your Registry in case of error and it is a good to export any
key before deleting.

Check the startup (Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab) for any unknown
items if it is reset on reboot.

You might try this snippet from Mike Burgess first if you use SpyBot:
'Did you by chance run SpyBot's Immunize feature?
If so, you can unlock by unchecking the option to "Protect IE Control
Panel" '
