Links in Outlook 2007

[Guest]

I have Windows Vista Ultimate and Office 2007, including Outlook 2007. I
have had it for several months now - without any problems - besides the fact
that Outlook in Vista is slower than a 286. (For the young people reading
this, a 286 was a computer your grandparents used in the 1980's).
Anyway, suddenly this week, every time I click on a link in an email in
Outlook 2007, I get the following message:
"This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on your
computer. Please contact your system Administrator"
First of all: I AM the Administrator
Second: Per this discussion group, someone suggested turning of the UAC,
which I did, rebooted and the same message appears.
The other suggestion was to reset the Outlook settings to the Default. Good
idea, but where do you do that?
looked everywhere to see if there was a "default settings" area in Outlook.
Could not find it.

I am suspecting that this is not exclusively an Outlook issue but a Windows
Vista issue.

How do your fix this????

Ramesh,
Thanks
That took care of it.

When I first saw your reply I was skeptical. My Primary Browser isn't
Internet Explorer so I didn't think changing the settings to IE would make a
difference.
But it did and when I click on a link now it still goes to my default
browser (a different browser from IE).

So, that did the trick. Thanks

Richard

I have tried all of the fixes above In several messages & more, &
still get the same message "the operation has been canceled due to
restrictions you have on this computer. contact system
administrator." I suspect Vista, but cannot prove it.

What the hell are you talking about?

This is a problem with IE, its not an Outlook error. You need to reset your
internet settings in IE's Tools, Internet Options, Advanced tab. (Or Control
panel, Internet options, Advanced tab).
