Hi
I recently installed Outlook2007 onto a laptop with Windows7 Home Premium.
It works fine apart from one aspect: when I click on a hyperlink in a
received email, I get a message box declaring: "This operation has been
canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your
systems administrator." This was not an upgrade over a previous version &
Windows Mail worked fine. Any help very much appreciated.
Regards

Five seconds at Google would have found your answer.

This isn't an Outlook issue, but an IE issue. Brian's link will tell you
everything you need to do.

You are claiming that you have never heard of online searching, like at
Google?

http://www.google.com/search?q=%2B%2...is+computer%22
(add +"Internet Explorer <version>" or +IE<version> for results specific to
your version of IE)

Operation canceled due to restrictions:

Please stop SPAMMING the newsgroups with your personal choice of an
anti-virus program. The *text* appended to your post is NOT a signature
(there is no "-- \n" delimiter line) so the product spamifies the body of
your post. It makes you look stupid because it presumes that some boob is
going to believe *text* added to your post somehow guarantees it isn't
infected (if that were true then spreading viruses would be trivial since
everyone would believe the claim). Stop being a spamming affiliate for your
choice of AV software. Configure your AV program to *not* append its spam
onto your posts.

Thank you for your replies. It was caused by inadvertently installing Chrome
(probably bundled with Google Earth) which I uninstalled fairly quickly
quite possibly the same day I installed Outlook2007. So is now sorted.

I would also like to apologize to Mr. Tillman & VanguardLT for daring to
post on this server for the 1st time in about 5 years asking for help & also
for all the consternation & chaos caused by my AV software. I'm off work
with a awful cold so used the time to sort out a couple of problems such as
this one from about a month ago. I did bother to research the issue at the
time & all the answers pointed to checking that IE was the default browser
which made no difference.

It was also about five years ago that I stopped contributing on these MS NGs
& public ones because I got tired of the unnecessary rudeness, bitching,
wars on top v bottom posting etc, etc. May I suggest to both of you that if
you can't help with a little more grace that you move on to something else?

IIRC, the lack of the sig delimiter is still an issue as it was Outlook
Express? I can remember many folks suggesting people dump OE at the time!
One could also argue that these NGs are redundant because if people searched
hard & long enough on the web, they would probably find answers to most of
the other questions asked here as well.

Thanks so much for the welcome Guys.
