IE 6.0 Wont Let Me Change Toolbar Options, Everything is Greyed Out

[Palmer Joss]

I go into the VIEW--->Toolbars menu and everything is
checked and grey. There is NO "lock toolbars" option at
all, the only thing I can change is the "text labels"
option. How can I fix this??

Mark,

You're unable to access this site because iSearch blocks mvps.org site in the HOSTS file. Rename the file named "HOSTS" (without a file extension). The HOSTS file will be present in the following location:

Windows XP=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K=C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98\ME=C:\WINDOWS

Just rename the HOSTS file to OLDHOSTS and try the remaining part of the advice.
