I can't access my IE settings any more!FAQ #024

Internet Explorer tells you to contact your administrator when you try to access the IE settings?
This can happen if you use Spybot-S&D in advanced mode and you have used the Immunize feature without reading all the text ;)

Please start Spybot-S&D again in advanced mode (if you are not in the advanced mode, you can change the mode in top menu bar) and go to the ie-tweaks page.
There you'll see a group Miscellaneous locks. Untick the checkboxes in front of both Lock IE... options. You may need to close all Explorer windows, and maybe even restart Windows before these changes take place.

Hint: this lock function has been added mostly for multi-user environments where you wouldn't want other users of your computer to change your IE settings. If you are the only user of your computer, there's no real need to enable them.
