 Windows Explorer/Folder options

Hi

I'm having a strange problem with Windows Explorer. I'm operating Windows 98 and all of a sudden I cannot change my folder view options!

I prefer to view the folders 'as Web Page', but as soon as I go to another folder, it defaults back to normal. If I click on View - Folder Options, I get an error message that there is a restriction in effect. If I go Start - Settings - Folder Options - View tab, the 'Like Current Folder' button is greyed out.

This happens even when I don't log on to the company network, and as no-one else has this problem, I don't think it's because of a log-on script.

Any one able to help?

Thanks

Dean
