I am having a Hell of a time unlocking internet explorer.
For some reason, iexplore.exe looks to the system like a dos file. If I try to execute it, it says it isn't there. If I edit the name, it denys me, saying it is write protected. If I change permissions, it doesn't affect the file.
If I try to install ie 7, the installer crashes when it starts to unpack the executable.
I need ie available for a program to run. The computer is part of a domain, but the server can't edit the file either. I downloaded an unlocker file, and it says winlogon is locking the file, but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

It's the same error: Access is denied.
I can't change any file to be named iexplore.exe, I can't change iexplore.exe's name, and it really, REALLY thinks it is an MS-DOS file.
if yes: you more than likely have some hardcore virus (one of the favorite pastimes of some of them is to replace NOTEPAD and IEXPLORE)
if not: you need to talk to the sysadmin about getting this program to run
If you can right click a Windows-created shortcut for IE (on the desktop or in the start menu) there should be an option for Internet Properties which brings up the IE properties page without actually opening IE. From there on the last tab you can reset IE's settings to default. Generally this solves problems for me but your problem may be beyond this.
Local's running XP. I can get to the internet options, and I cleared out all the proxy settings (which we did find a script for, implying he did that). Virus scanners are Trend and Kapersky, or however you spell it. Dunno which is actively running.
Edit: also Start > Run > www.whatever.com
i'll have to let you know tomorrow. I'm off the clock ATM, doing some research on my own.
