IE Browser 'back' button broken

Gang -

Well, I'm somewhat embarassed by this one, but if you have a fix, I would 
appreciate it.

The 'back' button on my browser no longer works.  I apparently got onto a web 
site which disabled the 'back' button permanently.  I have checked in the 
registry for obvious entries and the browser itself has been upgraded from IE 
5.5 to IE 6.0 (my company 'pushes' upgrades so I had nothing to do with that 
decision).  Even if I right-click and choose a previous page from the resulting 
history list, I can't go back.  This makes for some frustrating web browsing.

I thought maybe I picked up some Javascript which is disabling the back button 
but I don't know where to find it.  Checked on M$ site and Googled for 'IE back 
button disabled' - no joy!

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve
