     Hi,
     
     Anyone got any ideas on this weird problem. Even though I'm
     logged in as Administrator on my
     machine, the software on my machine forgets many (though
     not all) of the preferences/options/settings that I've made
     in it after the application has been closed.
     
     The weirdest example of this behaviour has to be in
     Internet Explorer. If I try to change my Tools\Internet
     Options in IE6.0 I get the message "This operation has been
     cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
     Please contact you System Adminstrator." But I am the
     SysAdmin!
     
     Now I've created another Administrator user account, and
     this works fine, but even switching the old user account
     from-the-back-to Adminstrator status doesn't rectify the
     problem.
     
     I'm up to date on all viruses and patches. Any ideas?
     
     Thanks.
