Outlook 2007 / Exchange email URL issue

[pdxireland]

Hello out there....
I just started getting the following dialog box in my Outlook 2007/Exchange email when I try to click on a URL emailed to me...

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

I do not have this issue w/ Thunderbird or webmail, etc.
Some research seems to point to the fact that IE is not my default browser & I would like to keep Chrome as my default.
Any thoughts on this?


thanks,

fmg

A friend just sent me this info.
Anybody else experienced this & have a fix?


Had a similar issue when a user installed Chrome and then uninstalled it. Did you uninstall or upgrade Chrome recently? It seems that they still need to polish some of the uninstall code as it leaves some registry items in a broken state. It’s not that IE isn’t the default browser, it’s that the registry entry for the default browser gets mucked up by Chrome. Checking and unchecking default browser in IE or Chrome won’t fix it once it’s busted.
