    Outlook won't let me follow web links in email/msg says restricted


    Hi,

    Seemingly out of nowhere, Outlook displays the following message when I click on a link in email:

    This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
    Please contact your system administrator.

    I sometimes wish I had a 'system administrator', lol. This is just my home pc. I can't think of any changes I made.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Rusty

    Edit: This is Outlook 7 on Windows 7 Home Premium.
