Out of the blue, I can’t change my internet options in I.E.6

[Cynindesign]

something

Win98SE

The first odd thing I was noticing I could view this particular site’s
flash samples on the web, everything played perfectly, but on my
system the main flash movie that played the others remained blank.
First noticed this behavior about a week ago.....then it occurred to
me that perhaps it’s something in my security settings and went to
Tools -> Internet Options and I WAS LOCKED OUT!!! I got this error
message: "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Pleas contact your system
administrator......What’s causing this and what do I do, I’m current
in security updates, ran Ad-ware, ran CWSShredder and it’s still doing
it.

TIA, Cyn

Use Regedit.exe and search for NoBrowserOptions and remove it.
It is most likely to be here (but not necessarily)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet
Explorer\Restrictions
If you are unfamiliar with Regedit, then ensure you know how to
restore your Registry in case of error and it is a good to export any
key before deleting.

Check the startup (Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab) for any unknown
items if it is reset on reboot.

You might try this snippet 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" '
