Windows Forum / Windows XP / Security and Administration / June 2005Problem with security settings for internet explorer
I am fairly new to XP Pro security and have been trying things on a new system. I have one limited account and my account is Administrator. Now when I use Ineternet Explorer and select internet options on the tools menu, it says that it is restricted and the see an administrator. I am not sure how to set this back to default settings. Thanks for any help on this. My reply is at the bottom of your sent message: > I am fairly new to XP Pro security and have been trying things on a > new system.

(Or another tweaking application perhaps?) Galen  Signature"But there are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them."

It seemed to fix the problem I was having at the time. I was pretty good with 98se but never ntfs or permissions and am trying to figure them out by reading and looking mostly. My account is Admin account and I can right-click on the desktop icon and go to properties with no problem. It only says that when I open IE and try to do it. Strange! I think that is the only strange behavior that I've noticed so far. I have not changed much but could have by accident. I looked in gpedit.msc and found the setting but it was not configured so I disabled it and then changed it back to not configured. This did the trick. Thanks so much for the help. I better not changed anything until I get a much better understanding of permissions. I really appreciate your help. Thanks so much!

While I agree that in a production type environment it's not good to play with buttons until you've read the manual or understand everything there's some satisfaction to be gained in learning and breaking on your own I've found.
