Internet options

[Guest]

My wife and I are both administrators of this acct. She can acces
the browser Tools (internet options) to change settings, but when
try, I get an error.( the operation has been canceled due t
restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your syste
administrator). I have eliminated my wife as an administrator (sinc
reinstated) and it didn't make a difference. All of the other browse
settings I have no problem changing.. Just the Tools, interne
options. Can you advise me of some other changes I might need to make
Thank you in advance......Rand

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" '
