Unable to open links in Outlook mail

[jallard]

I've seen a number of postings from people getting the following error when
trying to open a link in an Outlook email "This operation has been cancelled
due to restrictions in effect on this computer." After having the same
problem I figured out it happened after installing then uninstalling Google
Chrome. With that, I looked on line and found the following instructions
which I tweaked slightly and it fixed the problem.

"If you received this error after uninstalling Google Chrome (or Firefox)
browser you may need to change the HTM/HTML association in the registry.

1.Start, click Run, type REGEDIT in the Open (or Search) box, and then click
OK.
2.Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html
3.Right click the value for the .html key and select Modify...
4.Change the value from "ChromeHTML" to "htmlfile" (or from FireFoxHTML to
htmlfile),
Repeat these steps for .htm, .xht, .xhtml, and .shtml keys if they exist."
