I must have done something stupid with my administrative
privileges. I am unable to access "internet options". I
get an error msg stating that "this operation has been
cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer"
I am running XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 4500. I am the
sole user. Recently I was tinkering with ways to bypass
the welcome screen. I may have caused the problem at that
time. I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks,
Jon Gray
 
Hope the below information is of assistance to you.

If you are using Spybot S&D, disable the option:
"Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE"

This restriction can also be caused by spyware. Update your spyware program and
check your system on a regular basis.
