Control Panel Applet missing

[jack]

When trying to adjust folder options, I could not find
the Control Panel Applet "Folder Options". I tried
running "control folders" from the Run command and
received a message that, "This operation has ben
cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer". I know of no changes made. I am the computer
administrator here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might try this 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". See:
