IE;Internet Options Restrictions

[Robert Myers]

Internet Explorer Problem need help. Can not resolve
problem!
Problem: Internet Options window will not open. " This
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect
on this computer. Please contact administrator"

I the administrator have made no changes to cause such a
restriction! But I believe this is due to a download and
browser became hijacked "searchforit" All efforts to
remove searchforit and to get in IE Options have failed.

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\Internet
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" '
