system administrator?

That sounds like your internet explorer options have it
restricted, or your windows security rights are
restricted. If it's IE, then it should be somewhere under
Options. If it's windows, then you need to log on with the
administrator ID. The system administrator is whoever is
supporting your PC - work IT people, technical support
from the manufacturer that you purchased from (Dell,
Gateway), or the person who set the computer up.

Not sure if that's enough to help you, but let me know if
you need more.

I am having the same problem - This is Windows XP that I
use at home and I log on as the only "user" and I am the
administrator.

I cannot figure out how to get around this and change
options. Very frustrating being the only user on a home
PC to be restricted

Jane,
Did you by chance run SpyBot's Immunize feature?
"Lock IE control panel against opening from within IE (current user)"

Please start Spybot-S&D again in advanced mode (usually from the Start menu
group Spybot - Search &D Destroy, until you've already changed the desktop
icon to advanced mode), and go to the Immunize page.
There you'll see a group Recommended miscellaneous options. Untick the
checkboxes in front of both Lock IE... options. You may need to close all
Explorer windows, and maybe even restart Windows before these changes take
place.

If the above doesn't apply .....

There may be a Registry restriction in place?
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/Unlo...serOptions.reg
Download, right-click and select: Edit (to view in Notepad)
Right-click and select: Merge (to enter the info into the Registry)

[or]
Start | Run (type) "regedit" (no quotes)
Scroll down to the following location:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet
Explorer\Restrictions]
"NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000001

If the above entry exists: "NoBrowserOptions"
Click "Registry" (up top) select: "Export" (export = copy)
Enter a filename (hint) - NoBrowserOptions
Click Save, highlight the "NoBrowserOptions" entry in the right pane.
Right-click and select: Delete, close Regedit and reboot.
