Solved Microsoft Outlook

[debdedoos]

My microsoft outlook has decided not to let me open any links from emails I receive. It comes up with a box that says "operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Contact system administration." I have not changed any settings and don't know where to change them to allow it.

Hi debdedoos
Go through method 1 if internet explorer is your default browser You receive an error message when you click a hyperlink in Outlook

Hi, I followed your link from the forum and reset internet explorer but it didn't make any difference. I also run another email address from windows mail but that one is fine.

What is your default browser?

Hi again, My default browser is internet explorer and I have google as my search engine.

Probably its the registry settings. Do you have any other browsers installed in your computer? Also please recheck if Internet Explorer is your default browser by going to

internet options:arrograms tab:ar:make default

or you may apply the same setting on Mozilla or chrome. (if you have them that is.)

Take a look at these as well:

Thankyou for all your help, I clicked on one of your links and figured out it was because I had removed google chrome and had to change the registry settings. You guys are amazing on this site
