Hi All

I have lost all access to Internet Options on the Tools
menu after going to a web site that could not be
displayed.
http://www.exclusiveonlinedeals.biz/search/

It comes up with the message:- This operation has been
cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
Please contact your system administrator. The trouble is
I am the administrator. On a private machine at home
using IE 6. Running XP-Home.

I cannot see how this happened. I can access the sttings
via the Contol panel, but not from within IE.

Thankyou for any help you can afford me.

Peter F.
 
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.
