In case you use Spybot there´s a ability to restrict that way. I don´t know
the names in english, but can you go through
"Arbeitsplatz"-"Systemsteuerung"-"Internetoptionen"?

If you use Spybot here´s the way where you probably restricted that item:

-Start Spybot in "Advanced Mode"
-Go to "Tools"
-Go to "IE Tweaks"

You can see three fields on the right to check up. If the third one is
checked - that´s the restriction!

I hope, i could help - although my english is not the best....

I think in the english version of XP they can be found at "Control
Panel" - "Internet Options".

If the way mentioned above (Control Panel - Internet Options) is ok for you
i would leave the settings in Spybot! If you can´t access the Internet
Settings from IE any programm (Virus, Spyware) could have the same problem.
In my case the way through IE6 is still left restricted - i have to go the
long way.
I hope, you know what i want to say. And sorry for my english...
