Hello All, (Win XP Pro Clients)
About a week ago I am suddenly noticing that when IE 7 is installed, the tools/options are not available. The message “The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this computer. Please contact your administrator”. If IE 7 is uninstalled for the preference of IE6, the problem goes away.
My first though was group policy. Well, this computer is on a domain so local group policy is over ruled by GP in Active Directory. I have been assured by our admins that they are not blocking this option. Also, there is no regustry key to say they are lying. (Plus I have looked at the option in the local GP and it is not checked)
Brand new install, no add ons or third party software. This would lead me to believe that spyware/virus could not be to blame.
Once again it happens with every new install of IE 7 (new computers running Win XP).
This one has me stumped.
