Then you need to talk to your administrator or get administrative privileges in order to make such change.

Sounds like you are trying to do this in your office environment.

Just a thought, right click IE icon and check if you can get to use 'Run as administrator' open or not. If so, use it.

No, there is no such 'Run as administrator' found.

Talk to your Admin then! :)

They have made sure you don't play around with their security much.
