I can no longer access my internet options from the IE
page, Tools-Internet Options. I recieve "This operation
has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact your system administrator." I
can't figure what I did to restrict this function.
I have tried a system restore and it will not revert back!
I am using IE 6 and have tried the repair and removal of
it back to IE 5.5 and still had the same problem.

Please help,

Talk to your IS/IT dept's network admin as they have implemented group
security policies that bar you from accessing the options.

immunise, and down at the bottom remove the last checkmark.
