i have winXPhome SP2 with IE7 downloaded from MS downloads.altho initially
there were no problems recently i noted that when i want to access internet
options from the Tools menu iam denied with the following msg "This operation
has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please
contact your system administrator". iam the only user of this computer (I
guess that gives me administrator rights??!!!). any suggestions please.
thanx,
ramkumar

Hi,
Is Spybot S&D installed? If so, open Spybot, Click on Mode, select Advanced.
Go to Tools> IE Tweaks> uncheck "Lock IE control panel." Has another
security program locked Internet Options?

Possibility #2... Run REGEDIT and search for the value "NoBrowserOptions" If
found, backup (export) the registry or create a System Restore point, then
modify the value from 1 to 0.

Windows Server 2003:

I did this search, found that the setting were already as suggested, so I
changed "NoBrowserOptions" to "1", and "NoOpenInNewWindow" to "0". This
solved my problem with getting the problem message when trying to open some
links inside IE7 Browser Window.

Hope this helps others too. Teddybear
