Internet Options won't work

[Joel]

When I click on Internet Options so that I can clean out
cookies and do other things under that tab I get this
message: "This operation has been cancelled due to
restrictions on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator."
I am the administrator and I'm the only one who uses my
laptop. This is with IE6 on an XP based system. Can
anyone help me on how to correct this? Thanks

Do you have Spybot Search & Destroy installed?
If so>start>programs>SS&D (advanced mode)>immunise>uncheck the 3 items at
the bottom.

To unlock the Internet Options, follow these steps:
1. Quit all instances of Internet Explorer
2. Open Regedit.exe, navigate to this branch:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
Restrictions]

3. Delete the "NoBrowserOptions" Binary value

4. Close Registry Editor, restart IE.

Joel,

You can still open the options dialog via Control Panel.
