Can anyone help please!  I have Windows XP Professional and use IE 6.0.
When I go to "tools," and click on "internet options, " i get "this
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
Please contact your system adminstrator."  Why am i getting this error?
What can I do to fix this?   Any help from anyone would be more than
appreciated, thank you.

Close IE.
Open Regedit.
Find the value NoBrowserOptions and remove every instance of it.
It is most likely (but not necessarily) to be here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

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".
