IE Administrator Problem

[Manny]

I am the administrator of my computer, however when I go
to the Internet Options of Internet Explorer, it tells me
that the action has been cancelled due to restrictions on
my computer. It also says to see the administrator. This
has never been a problem before. Any ideas?

Close IE.
Open Regedit.
Find the value NoBrowserOptions and remove every instance of it.

You might try this 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".
