Hello,

I would appreciate any help on resolving the following
problem.

In my personal computer at home which has Windows 95,
Internet Explorer 5.5 intalled, I found that the browser
was defaulting to http://home.Netscape.com even though I
had set the IE browser to default to to the IE page. When
I go to Tools and click on Internet Options on my IE
browser tochange the default page, I get the following
message:

QUOTE

Thi operation has been cancelled due to restriction
ineffect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator.

UNQUOTE

I tried to go the registry to see if I could make
necessary changes, but failed to find anything. Could
omeone please help. Incidentally, I may mention that I had
Netscape Communicator installed before IE 5.5 and I
removed Netscape when the problem mentioned above appeared
but this did not resolve the problem

Thanks.

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\Inte rnet
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 to export any
key before deleting.

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

You might try this snippet from Mike Burgess first if you use SpyBot:
'Did you by chance run SpyBot's Immunize feature?
If so, you can unlock by unchecking the option to "Protect IE Control
Panel" '

The Registry key for the start page is located in:

Hope I have helped.
