Tools/Internet Options (cancelled/restricted)

[Jim]

Using XP & IE 6...when I click on Tools/Internet Options

I get a RESTRICTIONS pop up window that says:

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator.

Any ideas how to correct this?
