I have XP Home Edition and my account is set as Computer
Administrator. I have only one other account, Guest, which
is disabled.

Each time I attempt to access Tools | Internet Options in
Internet Explorer 6, I receive the following message:

"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator."

Any ideas how to correct this?
