Please help.

I tweaked IE 6 to prevent sites adding to or altering my toolbar.  I don't
remember how I did it and now I can't access Internet Options from the Tools
menu.

I want to undo this.

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 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" '

Hello,
Can you tell me how to re-enable the homepage buttons on the General
tab in Internet Options? Not sure when or how mine were disabled but I
can't choose my own homepage. TIA

I don't post my email because I get hundreds of spam

All,
Never mind - I just ran CWShredder 1.53.4 and every thing is OK.
Thanks for all the other answers that pointed me in that direction
