All of the sudden I can't get into the "Tools" area of IE
6.0. I get the following message ... "The operations has
been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact your system administrator."
Does anyone know why?

Thanks

Close IE.
Open Regedit.
Find the value NoBrowserOptions and remove every instance of it.

You might try this 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". See:
