Are you by any change using Spybot Search & Destroy? It has an option in the Advance mode where you can lock out opening Internet Options from within the browser. There may be other apps with this option so you might check if that box got checked.

Hi homersimpson2080...

Let's take a look at a couple of registry strings...

Click Start, then Run, type regedit, and click "Ok".

In Registry Editor's left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Software, then Microsoft, then Windows, then CurrentVersion, then Policies, and click on Explorer

In the right pane, look for the strings, NoBandCustomize and NoToolbarCustomize. If they are there, right click on each and choose "Delete". Accept the change and reboot.

See if the toolbars can now be selected.
