I have the same problemwhich started when I installed IE 8. It is on one computer on aworkgroup network. The 6 computers use MS OneCare administrered in two Circles. I tried Tim's solutionbut the setting was already set to "disabled". My problemappearstwo ways: 1.In IE8, I click on Tools\Internet Options I get a message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." 2. When I click on Internet Options in Control Panel, I at least see the Internet Properties window but it has the message "Some settings are managed by your system administrator." There is no indication that any of the settings on any of the Tabs are restricted.

I resolved the problem. But it had nothing to do with IE or Microsoft. I had a setting in SpyBot "Tools", "IE Tweaks" that was blocking access.

Close. Hi everyone, I had this problem and I managed to solve it !!!! After upgrading Windows XP Pro to service pack 3 and upgrading internet explorer 8 I also couldn't nothing with the annoying announcement "some setting are managed by your system administrator" !!! Well... It goes like this In gpedit you dont need to enter, its no use. You need to enter RUN - 'REGEDIT' In regedit go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel In control panel you need to change all the keys to 0 !!! I know 0 should do disabled but that what I did and it works :D No restart is needed, just do it and close REGEDIT If somebody want some help you can contact me on - danierlich@gmail.com Yours. Computer Tech Dani Erlich, Israel. This workt well thanks.....

Yes Thanks so much. On my work windows xp sp3 machine that I have administrator rights to, this indeed works. "You need to enter RUN - 'REGEDIT' In regedit go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel In control panel you need to change all the keys to 0 !!! I know 0 should do disabled but that what I did and it works :D No restart is needed, just do it and close REGEDIT" If I only set the advanced tab to zero, I could see the tab and all the settings, but not edit them. I realize that for Microsoft Moderators etc.., that this is a gray area telling someone to change something that possibly a computer policy administration group setup. However: 1. If someone is searching for it, they (myself included) will have a good reason and be tenacious enough to get it resolved, thus withholding information is stifling someones ability to do their job possibly. In my case, I'm a senior software developer and I was granted administrator access, but the tab was missing. I was using Firefox to debug Visual Studio C#... Problem with that was : a: not policy to use firefox b. 99% of users are on IE7 c. Some previous developer wrote prototype ajax code that did not work in firefox and only IE, and for me to place breakpoints in Visual Studio was pointless if I used IE, as IE advanced tab had debugging turned off. Thus this severely impacted the ability to do my job. Without breakpoints and stepping through my code, I might as well be doing PHP or Coldfusion..... ughhh d. If I need to place the code in a batch file and schedule it to run daily in case group policies get pushed daily then that is what I will do. e. Sometimes in order to get our jobs done my have to bend or break the rules... I found out that at work there is an exceptions list, but it will take a least a few weeks or more to get approved etc.. f. It is sad that the Microsoft folks have answers that do not work, or that ask us to ask our sys. admins . Let us the users deal with the fallout of our work or home registry setting changes. Thanks Dani Erilich!

I have Windows XP Home edition with service pack 3 installed and have the same problem. The following registry entries do NOT exist: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings So what else can be causing it?
