Vista - Cannot Access Internet Options w/IE7 & Vista

I used to be able to select internet options from the browser and then I
would receive the message "This option has been cancelled due to
restrictions on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator". However, now I don't receive anything and still cannot
access the internet options.

I tried to access via the control panel and receive the message "Access
to this feature has been disabled by a restriction set by your
administrator".

I have my account set as the administrator and I have tried by signing
in as an administrator and no difference.

I have tried to change the restrictions via the registry editor and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER (folder was not viewed) and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE without
success.

Any assistance would be very appreciated.

1. Open "regedit.exe"

2. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Policies/Microsoft/Internet Explorer

3. Now delete a key "NoBrowserOptions" or change its value to 0.

You may have a security program you recently installed that locks the
current user from performing changes to the internet options. This prevents
malicious web sites from performing changes (behind your back) while
actively using the browser.

Shut down the browser. Go to the start menu. Right click on Internet
Explorer. Go to internet properties. See if you can get into internet
options from there to make your changes.

I have tried a few things. I logged on as an adminstrator and deleted
the No Browser Options and I tried accessing internet options by right
clicking on the icon. I still get the error message.

I read some other threads where people were having issues re:
inetcpl.cpl file was not in System 32 file but mine is. When I read the
properties for the file, the "Trusted Installer" user has full control
and all other users have read and read/execute access.

If I didn't mention before, I have the vista business version and I am
running the CA Security suite that was provided by my internet provider.
