Internet Explorer problen under tools

Hi,

firstly the account that you're using to make the settings should be part of the administrators group.

Secondly, its possible that there is a group policy on your domain that is stopping you from making these changes.

Cheers,
Tim.

if your os is win2000..u must login as administrator and configure the user password on the control panel..

Let say ur domain is www and user is xxx..
Add the user and make the rights of the user to others (administrator)...then log off and log in to the domain.

If it is winnt4..i can't help u.

You might also try resetting the content advisor password to nothing. The following steps will remove any password set in the Content Advisor and allow you to reset the program to its original state:

1) Click on Start and choose Run.
2) Typein RegEdit and select OK.
3) Now click on the little plus sign to the left of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
4) Continue to drill down, always clicking on the plus sign at the left of the named key, through Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version andPolicies.
5) Now click on the Ratings folder.
6) In the right pane of the RegEdit window, you'll see an icon called Key. Click on it and press Delete.
7) Next, choose Registry and then Exit to exit RegEdit. You've just deleted your original Content Advisor password.
8) Restart the computer and run Internet Explorer again.
9) Choose View and then Internet Options (or Options for version 3.x)
10) Click on the Content tab and click on Disable. When asked for a password, don't enter anything; just click on OK. This will disable Content Advisor because there's no longer a password.

Your account has restricted to modify setups. If you are in the administrator's group, then double check your account permissions. Otherwise, it's just some of the things that an administrator can do to W2k to restrict their users. I don't think your account has access to the registry either. Also, check your IE if it's behaving properly. If it's corrupted, then download and install the latest version from microsoft.

Is the IE installed on the PC a custom install created with IEAK?
One way to find out, if you can get to the "Help" menu "About Internet Explorer" it may say "This is a customized version of Internet Explorer". If your installed version is customized it may have policies built into it from whomever created the IEAK build. If so, the easiest way to remove the policy would be to re-install all IE components. Should you encounter problems refer to Microsoft kb article Q197234. I have created IE builds with policies embedded within them and that is what it sounds like to me.
