Jay,
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/UnlockNoBrowserOptions.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\Internet 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.
