When I select tools,internet options in IE7 I get the following message:
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this
computer.Please contact your system administrator"

This just started for some reason and I haven't been able to restore my
access.

XP Prof,SP2,IE7

Any help is certainly appreciated..

Hello Bob,

Try this:

Remove Restrictions Tool:
http://en.sergiwa.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=2&lid=1
 
Use Regedit.exe and search for NoBrowserOptions and remove it.
It is most likely to be here (but not necessarily)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions
If you are unfamiliar with Regedit, then ensure you know how to
restore your Registry in case of error and it is a good idea to export
any key before deleting.

Check the startup (Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab) for any unknown
items if it is reset on reboot.

If you use SpyBot's Immunize feature, then you can unlock in Tools-IE
Tweaks-"Lock IE Control Panel"

No joy on the remove restrictions tool but the registry tweak fixed the
problem.All's Ok now plus I have a recent system state backup.

Many thanks Claymore and Alan for the help and quick response.
