Clicking on a URL link in an e-mail results in "Operation was cancelled
due to restrictions in effect on this computer". It is not an error in
the e-mail client. The e-mail client doesn't handle the URL protocol.
The program currently associated with the URL protocol is at fault, and
that would likely be your web browser. This is usually a problem with a
corrupted setup with Internet Explorer; however, if you are logging onto
a domain, it is also possible a domain administrator has established
policies that cause the restriction when navigating to sites external to
the corporate network.

If the restriction is established by domain policies, you'll have to
contact your domain administrator regarding the problem and ask for
special privileges to access external sites. If you are not logging
into a domain, the problem is with whatever is the handler for URL links
which is probably the web browser. In the latter case and if Internet
Explorer is configured as the default web browser, go into Internet
Options, Advanced tab, and reset the web settings for Internet Explorer.
This often works but if it does not help then go see further help at:

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).
